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:
A cardboard head I see,
Has found its way to me,
It’s old and it’s old and it’s old,
Making me cry,
Verse 2:
I sleep but I will not move,
Too scared to leave my room,
But I won’t be defeated, oh no,
Note: The electric guitar do some of the intro here.
Pre-Chorus:
What if cards don’t go my way?
And it’s sure to spoil my day,
But in voices loud and clear,
Note: This part electric guitar do the same as the intro.
Chorus:
You say to me "It’s only superstition,
It’s only your imagination,
It’s only all of the things that you fear,
And the things from which you can’t escape."
Verse 3:
Keep clean for the thousand time,
Stand still and wait and line,
Some numbers are badder than others, oh no,
Note: Same as the first one.
Pre-Chorus:
What if cards don’t go my way?
And it’s sure to spoil my day,
But in voices loud and clear,
Note: Same as the first one.
Chorus:
You say to me "It’s only superstition,
It’s only your imagination,
It’s only all of the things that you fear,
And the things from which you cannot expect."
Bridge:
But it’s making me cry,
And it’s making me cry,
And I’m slipping away,
And I’m slipping away,
Fade:
It’s only superstition, only your imagination,
It’s only superstition, only superstition,
