[Verse]
D
God came down to Earth
G D
To enjoy what She'd created
D
Took a fishing trip to Georgia
A
To see what She could see
D
Cast out a holy line
G D
Thought She'd hooked a big one
G D
Reeled in a oil barrel
A D
And said, "Oh my me!"
[Chorus]
D G D
This is why your whole world is on fire
A
This is why you can't drink from your own springs
D A D A G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
D A D
This is why y'all can't have nice things
[Verse]
D
So She walked back to the highway
G D
Flagged down a passing stranger
D
An old man with a kind streak
A
Who offered Her a toke
D
Just as She was partakin'
G D
The blue lights started flashing
G D
As they slipped the handcuffs on Her
A D
She thought this must be a joke
[Chorus]
D G D
This is why y'all are all strung out to Christmas
A
This is why I left you all them seeds
D A D A G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
D A D
This is why y'all can't have nice things
[Solo]
D G D A D G D G D A D
[Verse]
D
So She walked out of the jail
G D
With a rap sheet and no money
Went lookin' for a coffee
A
And passed by an angry mob
D
They were yelling about people
G D
Who should suffer pain eternal
G D
She asked one for a dollar
A D
And they said, "Sinner, get a job"
[Outro]
D G D
This is why (This is why) I blessed you with compassion
A
This is why (This is why) I gave you empathy
D G D
This is why (This is why) I said to love your neighbor
A
This is why (This is why) pills don't grow on trees
D G D
This is why (This is why) I gave you all salvation
A
This is why (This is why) angels lose their wings
D A D A G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
D A D
This is why y'all can't have nice things
D A D
Oh, this is why y'all can't have nice things
