Verse 1: 
 Am           F      G  
А 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 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
What if cards don’t go my way 
And it’s sure to spoil my day 
But in voices loud and clear 
 
Chorus: 
 F        G                F  
What if cards don’t go my way 
It’ll surely spoil my day 
                                    F   Em  G  
You say to me “it’s only superstition 
It’s only your imagination 
It’s all of the things that you fear 
And the things from which you can’t explain” 
 
Verse 3: 
Keep clean for the thousand time 
Stand still and wait and line 
Some numbers are badder than others, oh no 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
What if cards don’t go my way 
And it’s sure to spoil my day 
But in voices loud and clear 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
But it’s making me cry 
And it’s making me cry 
And I’m slipping away 
And I’m slipping away
