 x2
 Say you  see through the  folly but you do  it for the fame
 I'm  fighting the  jet stream, drinkin' cheap  wine on airplanes
 You're in  L.A., not Chicago
 Key under mat,  I walk the dog,  order in,  home alone
 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
 And you  didn't really  mean it
 So I  don't have to  believe  it
 If you  didn't really  mean it
 Then magical  thinking  gets us by
 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
 x2
 My fairweather friend
 Fairweather friend
 ~instrumental: same as 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
Gets  us by Gets  us by
 Say you see  through the folly  but you did  it for the fame  x2
 My fairweather friend
