Whooooooo
F
It was so nice throwing big parties
F
Jump into the pool from the balcony
F                                  ( Bb )
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea  (whooooo)
F
And there are no rules when you show up here

Bass beat rattling the chandelier

Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year

So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates

It was so nice being friends again

There I was, giving you a second chance

But then you stabbed in the back while shaking my hand
F
And therein lies the issue
F
Friends don't try to trick you
F
Get you on the phone and mind-twist you
F
And so I took an axe to a mended fence

Pre-chorus:

If only you weren't so shady
