Capo 2 


Intro: Am G Em D (2x) 

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

Em D G Em D Am 

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 


    Am         Em 
And you didn't really mean it 
   Am           Em    D 
So I don't have to believe it 
   Am         Em 
If you didn't really mean it 
     Am          Em            Am 
Then magical thinking gets us by
 

Em G D Am Em G D 

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 


 
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 


Em D Am Em (2x) 

Em D 

   Am          Em       Em   D 
My fairweather friend 
  Am        Em 
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 

 
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
 

Em G D       Am Em G D       Am Em G D 
     Gets us by      Gets us by 

        Am              G             Em             D     Am G Em D 
Say you see through the folly but you did it for the fame (2x) 

Em D Am Em

    Am         Em 
My fairweather friend
