[Verse]
A
I saw her today, I saw her face
F#m
It was the 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
Needles and pins
Needles and pins...
[Verse 1]
E G F#
I heard somebody fixed today
F E G F# F
There was no last goodbyes to say
E G F#
His will to live ran out
F E G F# F
I heard somebody turned to dust
E G F#
Looking back at what he left
F E G F# F
A list of plans and photographs
E G F#
Songs that never will be sung
F E
These are the things he won't get done
G F# F
The things he won't get done...
[Chorus]
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
E5 G5 F#5 F5
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
E5 G5 F#5 F5 E5
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

[Verse 2]
G F#
Just one shot to say goodbye
F E G F# F
One last taste to mourn and cry
E G F#
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
F E G F# F
Just one shot to do him in
E G F#
He hangs his head and wonders why
F E G F# F
Why the monkey only lies, lies, lies, lies...
E G F#
But pay the pauper, he did choose
F E
He hung his head inside the noose
G F# F
He hung his head inside the noose, oh...
[Chorus]
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man

E5 G5 F#5 F5
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
E5 G5 F#5 F5
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand man
F#5 A5 G#5 G5
Cryptic writings on the wall, the beginning of the end
F#5 A5 G#5 G5 E5
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand

I heard somebody fixed today
There was no "last goodbyes" to say
His will to live ran out
I heard somebody turned to dust
Looking back at what he left
A list of plans and photographs
Songs that never will be sung
These are the things he won't get done
The things he won't get done
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the gutter on their hands
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
Just one shot to say goodbye
One last taste to mourn and cry
Scores and shoots, the lights go dim
Just one shot to do him in
He hangs his head and wonders why
Why the monkey only lies, lies, lies...
But pay the pauper, he did choose
He hung his head inside the noose
He hung his head inside the noose, oh...
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use that man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle in his hand
Cryptic writing on the wall, the beginning of the end
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
I've seen the man use the needle, seen the needle use the man
I've seen them crawl from the cradle to the coffin on their hands
They fight a war but it's fatal, it's so hard to understand
I've seen myself use the needle, seen the needle in my hand
In my hand, in my hand
In my hand!
