C                                       Am
I saw her today I saw her face it was the face I loved and I knew
            C                                    Am
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
            C               Am
Still they begin needles and pins
                    F                    G
because of all my pride the tears I gotta hide
                     C


Oh I thought I was smart I won her heart
               Am                                          C
didn't think I'd do but now you see she's worse to him than me
                                    Am
let her go ahead and take his love instead
                                      C
and one day she will see just how to say please
                     Am                          F
And get down on her knees, yeah that's how they begin
                              G
she'll feel those needles and pins hurting her hurting her


B                                 E
why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong I'm wrong so wrong
Eb                                        C
why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong

                   F                                      Dm
Because I saw her today I saw her face it was the face I loved and I knew
             F                                  Dm
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
               F                      Dm
But still they begin oh, needles and pins
                   Bb                  C
because of all my pride the tears I gotta hide
               F
Oh needles and pins oh
