Note: Yeah, 4 chords only, I'm just trying to make it simple & basic so
      that everybody can understand it. What makes the song fantastic
      is because the electric guitar adds lots of 'flower' in it & the
      way Chris sings it. Enjoy! In the intro, the Cmaj just strum it
      once.

Verse 1:

C        Am9
A cardboard head I see,

F          Am9
Has found its way to me,

C         Am9              C Am9
It’s old and it’s old and it’s old,

          F G
Making me cry,

Verse 2:

C          Am9
I sleep but I will not move,

F          Am9
Too scared to leave my room,

C           Am9         C
But I won’t be defeated, oh no,

Note: The electric guitar do some of the intro here.

Pre-Chorus:

C                      F
What if cards don’t go my way?

F                      Am9
And it’s sure to spoil my day,

       C            F
But in voices loud and clear,

Note: This part electric guitar do the same as the intro.

Chorus:

           Am9                  G
You say to me "It’s only superstition,

Am9                  G
It’s only your imagination,

Am9                                 F
It’s only all of the things that you fear,

        Am9                        F
And the things from which you can’t escape."

Verse 3:

C               Am9
Keep clean for the thousand time,

F            Am9
Stand still and wait and line,

C             Am9                   C
Some numbers are badder than others, oh no,

Note: Same as the first one.

Pre-Chorus:

C                      F
What if cards don’t go my way?

F                      Am9
And it’s sure to spoil my day,

       C            F
But in voices loud and clear,

Note: Same as the first one.

Chorus:

           Am9                  G
You say to me "It’s only superstition,

Am9                  G
It’s only your imagination,

Am9                                 F
It’s only all of the things that you fear,

        Am9                         F
And the things from which you cannot expect."

Bridge:

Am9               F
But it’s making me cry,

Am9               F
And it’s making me cry,

Am9             F
And I’m slipping away,

Am9             F
And I’m slipping away,

Fade:

Am9              G                   Am9
It’s only superstition, only your imagination,

Am9              G               Am9
It’s only superstition, only superstition,
