(with Above Riff):
[Em7]
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall.
Very superstitious, ladder's 'bout to fall.
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass.
Seven years of bad luck; the good things in your past.
Chorus
[B7] [C9b5]
When you believe in things,
[B7] [Bb9b5] [A9sus4]
That you don't understand, then you suffer.
[B7#5] [Em7]
Superstition ain't the way.

You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.
