Am G Em D x2
{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
{chorus}
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
{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
Em D Am Em x2

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
Em G D Am Em G D Am Em G D
