Intro:

Verse:
D
God came down to Earth
G D
To enjoy what She'd created

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
D 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

This is why you can't drink from your own springs

This is why y'all can't have nice things

Verse:
D
So She walked back to the highway
Flagged down a passing stranger
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
D 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
D A
This is why I left you all them seeds
D A D F#m 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 out of the jail
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
D G D
She asked one for a dollar
A D
And they said, "Sinner, get a job"
Chorus:
D G D
This is why (This is why) I blessed you with compassion
D 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
D 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
D A
This is why (This is why) angels lose their wings
D A D F#m G
This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why
D A D F#m G
This is why y'all can't have nice things
D A D D
Oh, this is why y'all can't have nice things
