First Verse
            C5
I saw him today, I saw his face
                  A5
It was the face I loved, and I knew
              C5
I had to run away
                                   A5
And get down on my knees and pra-a-ay, that they?d go away
                 C5                           A5
And still they begin,------------needles and pins
                  F5                        G5
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide

Second Verse
                   C5
Oh I thought I was smart, I?d won his heart
                   A5
I didn't think I'd lose, but now I see
                        C5
She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
                 A5
Take his love instead, and one day he will see
                C5                                     A5
Just how to say please------------and get down on his knees
                   F5                                  G5
Oh that's how it begins, he'll feel those needle and pins
G5                            G5 G5 G E5
A-hurtin' him , A-hurtin' him

Bridge, then key change

E5                                     D5
Why can't I stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
C5                                         B5
Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong

n.C.                 E5
Because, I saw him today, I saw his face
                  C#5
It was the face I loved, I can?t let go
           E5
Although I know he?ll make me cry
           C#5
Oh a wo-ah woh till the day I die
           E5
But people I got to live now
                       C#5
And though I know that I?ll just forgive now
               A5                                 B5
Yeah when it begins, he'll feel those needle and pins
B5
A-hurtin' him , stop it now
B5                   E5
Stop those needles, stop those pins
                 C#5                           A5
Lord when they begin, oh won?t you hear what I say
                    B5
Somebody take them away, stop ?em now, stop ?em
B5                      E5
