I saw her today, I saw her face
                            F#m
It was a face I loved and I knew
              A                                F#m
I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray

That they'd go away
               A A Asus2 A Asus2 Asus4 A Asus2 A  
But still they begin
            F#m
Needles and pins
                  D
Because of all my pride
                  E
The tears I gotta hide

                     A
Hey, I thought I was smart, I won her heart
                 F#m
Didn't think I'd do it, but now I see
                        A
She's worse to him than me
                                  F#m
Let her go ahead, take his love instead

And one day she will see
                A A Asus2 A Asus2 Asus4 A Asus2 A  
Just how to say please
                    F#m
And get down on her knees
                      D
Yeah, that's how it begins
                              E
She'll feel those needles and pins

A-hurtin her, a-hurtin her

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
A                                        G#
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong

Because I saw her today, I saw her face
