[A] I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I [F#m] loved, and I knew
I had to run a-[A] way and get down on my knees and [F#m] pray
That they'd go away and still they [A] begin
Needles and [F#m] pins because of all my [D] pride, the tears I gotta [E] hide
Oh, thought I was [A] smart, I'd won a heart
Didn't think I [F#m] do, but now you see
She's worse to him and [A] me let her go ahead
And take this love in-[F#m] stead and one day she will see
Just how to say [A] "please"
Get down on her [F#m] knees that's how they [D] begin
You'll feel those needles and [E] pins. Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
[C#m] What can't I stop and tell myself I'm [Bm] wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
[A] What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm [Ab] strong.
Because I saw her [Db] today, I saw her face
It was a face I [Bbm] loved, and I knew
I had to run [Db] away and get down on my knees and [Bbm] pray
That they'd go away and still they [Db] begin
Needles and [Bbm] pins because of all my [F#] pride the tears I gotta [Ab] hide
Needles and [Db] pins, needles and [Bbm] pins, needles and [Db] pins, needles and [Bbm] pins
It was a face I [F#m] loved, and I knew
I had to run a-[A] way and get down on my knees and [F#m] pray
That they'd go away and still they [A] begin
Needles and [F#m] pins because of all my [D] pride, the tears I gotta [E] hide
Oh, thought I was [A] smart, I'd won a heart
Didn't think I [F#m] do, but now you see
She's worse to him and [A] me let her go ahead
And take this love in-[F#m] stead and one day she will see
Just how to say [A] "please"
Get down on her [F#m] knees that's how they [D] begin
You'll feel those needles and [E] pins. Hurtin' her, hurtin' her
[C#m] What can't I stop and tell myself I'm [Bm] wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
[A] What can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm [Ab] strong.
Because I saw her [Db] today, I saw her face
It was a face I [Bbm] loved, and I knew
I had to run [Db] away and get down on my knees and [Bbm] pray
That they'd go away and still they [Db] begin
Needles and [Bbm] pins because of all my [F#] pride the tears I gotta [Ab] hide
Needles and [Db] pins, needles and [Bbm] pins, needles and [Db] pins, needles and [Bbm] pins
