Facebook Graph Api -- Can I get the "default" fields plus some?

Solution

You need to either itemise all the fields you want, or accept the defaults, there's no way to get 'defaults + these other fields'

Problem

When I make a request to https://graph.facebook.com/me -- I get a large JSON object with lots of good data in it. However, I want to also get the user's cover photo (if it exists). Is there a way to do this, while also retaining the default fields? For instance: https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=cover -- returns just the cover image. If I use one field, do I need to specify exactly the other fields that I need?
