F#
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

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

It was the face of love, and I knew

And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away

And still it begins, needles and pins
