Nice Things Chords by Mickey Guyton

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I am priceless, don't you know?
_ _ [Eb] But you broke me even so
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Oh [F] shiny gold and [Eb] diamond rings
[Bb] Your mama always said [F] you can't have [Bb] nice things
_ _ _ _ _
Held me tightly as you did
_ _ [Eb] And when I cried out you did not [Bb] care _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] You stole my heart [Eb] and bent my wings
[Bb] Your mama always said you [F] can't have [Bb] nice things
[F] Oh little boy with all [Eb] your toys out [Bb] in the yard
[F] I gave you the moon [Eb] but you had to [Bb] have the stars
[F] You took them from _ _ [Gm] _
in the dark
Till [Eb] they rusted right through
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Precious memories gone like that _ _ _
[Eb] You can't ever buy them [Bb] back _ _
_ _ _ I [F] know you cannot [Eb] afford these dreams
[Bb] Like mama always said you [F] can't have nice things _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] You _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ can't keep me locked and _ keyed _
_ [Eb] Just to satisfy your _ [Bb] need _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] Oh don't you know why [Eb] the cage birds sing
[Bb] Like mama always said you [F] can't have [Bb] nice things
Your mama always said you [F] can't have [Bb] nice things _ _ _ _
