F#
I saw her today, I saw her face
                   D#
It was the face I loved, 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

Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
Take his love instead,
and one day she will see
Just how to say please,
and get down on her knees
Hey that's how it begins (uh),
she'll feel those needles and pins
A hurting her, a-hurting 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

Chorus:
                    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#
Needles and pins
             A#
Needles and pins
             A#
Needles and pins
