(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                     Em7 
Superstition ain't the way.

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