I saw her today, I saw her face
                   D#
It was the face of love, and I knew
               F#
I had to run away
                               D#
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
                   F#               D#
And still it begins, needles and pins
                   B                         C#
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide


                        F#
Oh I thought I was smart, I stole her heart
                   D#
I didn't think I'd do, but now I see
                            F#
She's worth to him than me, let her go ahead
                  D#
Take his love instead, and one day she will see
                     F#                         D#
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
                      B                                 C#
Oh that's how it begins, she'll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her


   A#                                    G#
   Why can't stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
   F#                                           F
   Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong


                      A#
Because,  saw her today, I saw her face
                      G
It was the face of love, and I knew
                A#
I had to run away
                                G
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
                   A#               G
And still it begins, needles and pins
                      D#                    F
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
              A#
Needle and pins
Needle and pins
Needle and pins
