Hayes Carll - Nice Things Chords

[intro]
D

[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
This is why (This is why)
  G                   D
I blessed you with compassion

This is why (This is why)
            A
I gave you empathy
       D
This is why (This is why)
  G                   D
I said to love your neighbor

This is why (This is why)
                      A
pills don't grow on trees
       D
This is why (This is why)
  G                   D
I gave you all salvation

This is why (This is why)
                     A
angels lose their wings
         D           A
This is why, this is why,
        D    A     G
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
