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.

Making me cry,

Too scared to leave my room,
Cmaj Amin Cmaj
But I wont be defeated, oh no,

Keep clean for the thousand time,
Fmaj Amin
Stand still and wait and line,
Cmaj Amin Cmaj
Some numbers are badder than others, oh no,

Amin Gmaj
You say to me "Its only superstition,
Amin Gmaj
Its only your imagination,
Amin Fmaj
Its only all of the things that you fear,
Amin Fmaj
And the things from which you cannot expect."
Bridge:
Amin Fmaj
But its making me cry,
Amin Fmaj
And its making me cry,
Amin Fmaj
And Im slipping away,
Amin Fmaj
And Im slipping away,
Fade:
Amin Gmaj Amin
Its only superstition, only your imagination,
Amin Gmaj Amin
Its only superstition, only superstition,
