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.

^CmajA cardboard ^Aminhead I see, ^FmajHas found its ^Aminway to me,

^CmajIt's old and ^Aminit's old and it's ^Cmajold, ^Amin Making me ^Fmajcry, ^Gmaj

Verse 2:

^CmajI sleep but I ^Aminwill not move, ^FmajToo scared to ^Aminleave my room,

^CmajBut I won't be ^Amindefeated, oh ^Cmajno, Note: The electric guitar do some of the intro here.

Pre-Chorus:

^CmajWhat if cards don't go my ^Fmajway' ^FmajAnd it's sure to spoil my ^Aminday,

But in ^Cmajvoices loud and ^Fmajclear, Note: This part electric guitar do the same as the intro.

Chorus:

You say to ^Aminme "It's only sup^Gmajerstition, ^AminIt's only your imagina^Gmajtion,

^AminIt's only all of the things that you ^Fmajfear, And the ^Aminthings from which you can't ^Fmajescape."

Verse 3:

^CmajKeep clean for the ^Aminthousand time, ^FmajStand still and ^Aminwait and line,

^CmajSome numbers are ^Aminbadder than others, oh ^Cmajno, Note: Same as the first one.

Pre-Chorus:

^CmajWhat if cards don't go my ^Fmajway' ^FmajAnd it's sure to spoil my ^Aminday,

But in ^Cmajvoices loud and ^Fmajclear, Note: Same as the first one.

Chorus:

You say to ^Aminme "It's only sup^Gmajerstition, ^AminIt's only your imagina^Gmajtion,

^AminIt's only all of the things that you ^Fmajfear, And the ^Aminthings from which you cannot ^Fmajexpect."

Bridge:

^AminBut it's making me ^Fmajcry, ^AminAnd it's making me ^Fmajcry,

^AminAnd I'm slipping ^Fmajaway, ^AminAnd I'm slipping ^Fmajaway,

Fade:

^AminIt's only supersti^Gmajtion, only your imagina^Amintion, ^AminIt's only supersti^Gmajtion, only supersti^Amintion,
