(intro 4x) F Em G  

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

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

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

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

F                 G        Em                   Am    G
But it's making me cry    ,    and it's making me cr____y
F                 G      Em              Am
And I'm slipping away and    I'm slipping aw____ay

Am                G                   F
It's only superstition, only your imagination
Am                 G              F
It's only superstition, only superstition
