(intro 4x) F5 E5 G5  

A5                F5
A cardboard head
          A5                  F5
I see      has found its way   to me,
A5                 F5
It's old and it's old and it's old
A5                   F5
Making me cr__y.
A5                    F5
I sleep but I will not move,
A5                 F5
Too scared to leave my room
A5                    F5                  A5       F5
But I won't be defeated, oh no.

F5          G5                          F5
What if cards don't go my way?
             G5                     F5
And it's sure to spoil my day.
           G5                     F5
But in voices loud and clear
                G5                             F5       E5      G5
you say to me "it's only superstition.
G5                           F5       E5      G5
It's only your imagination,
G5                          F5                   E5
It's only all of the things that you fear
              G5                                           F5       E5      G5
and the things from which you can't escape."

A5                         F5
Keep clean for the thousandth time
 A5                  F5
Stand still and wait and line.
 A5                        F5                                   A5       F5
Some numbers are badder than others, oh no.

F5          G5                          F5
What if cards don't go my way?
             G5                     F5
And it's sure to spoil my day.
           G5                     F5
But in voices loud and clear
                G5                             F5       E5      G5
you say to me "it's only superstition.
G5                           F5       E5      G5
It's only your imagination,
G5                          F5                   E5
It's only all of the things that you fear
               G5                                           F5          E5      G5       F5
and the things from which you cannot expect."

F5                           G5        E5                           A5    G5
But it's making me cry    ,    and it's making me cr____y
F5                          G5          E5                 A5
And I'm slipping away and    I'm slipping aw____ay

A5                    G5                            F5
It's only superstition, only your imagination
A5                     G5                     F5
It's only superstition, only superstition
