Capo 2


A5 G5 E5 D5 x2

{verse}
       A5              G5              E5            D5
Say you see through the folly but you do it for the fame
   A5           G5                     E5            D5          A5
I'm fighting the jet stream , drinkin' cheap wine on airplanes
        G5           E5    D5    A5
You're in L.A., not Chicago
          G5               E5         D5          G5
Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone

E5 D5 G5 E5 D5 A5

{verse}
Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night
Some other girl in your spell, casting plans for her life
Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp knives
Breathe the words; diamonds on rings

{chorus}
    A5         E5
And you didn't really mean it
   A5           E5    D5
So I don't have to believe it
   A5         E5
If you didn't really mean it
     A5          E5            A5
Then magical thinking gets us by

E5 G5 D5 A5 E5 G5 D5

{verse}
Sing for the after show, those candy colored lips
But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it
It's always easier with freshman
Not as clever, but she'll bring you to life

{chorus}
And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If you didn't really mean it
Magical thinking gets us by

E5 D5 A5 E5 x2

My fairweather friend
  A5        E5
Fairweather friend

~instrumental: same as verse~

{verse}
There for the folly
But you did it for the fame
And you're fragile as porcelain
Drinkin' cheep wine on airplanes
And did I ever leave Chicago?
I got your message, glad you're doing well

{chorus}
And you didn't mean to do it
So I don't have to believe it
If we didn't really mean it
Magical thinking gets us by

E5 G5 D5       A5 E5 G5 D5       A5 E5 G5 D5
     Gets us by      Gets us by

        A5              G5             E5             D5     A5 G5 E5 D5
Say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame              x2
