I Just Want To Have Something To Do
[ A   G F   G ] x2

A              F       G
Hanging out on Second Avenue 
Eating chicken vindaloo
I just want to be with you 
A
I just want to have something to do

F        G        A
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, well all right 
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

G   F G  A G  F G
Wait-now, wait-now

Hanging out all by myself 
'cause I don't want to be with anybody else
I just want to be with you 
I just want to have something to do 

   Tonight, tonight...

Wait-now...

Wait-now...

Hanging out all...

Tonight, tonight...

Tonight, tonight, tonight (2x)
 

I Wanted Everything
[ D  G  D  F ] x4

G       A         D      E    D 
I heard about the Easter bunny 
Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy 
There was no Mom or Daddy
   
E   C     D
 I wanted everything (3x)

[ E  G  D  E ] 

[ D  G  D  F ] x4

I had the world on my shoulder 
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it 
Some kind of employment

I wanted...

[ E  G  D  E ] 

[ D  G  D  F ] x4

[ A  D  A  E ] x4

All day working on a truck 
Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary 
No tip for the delivery

I wanted...

[ E  G  D  E ] 

[ D  G  D  F ] x4

There's no success for me 
Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket 
And I'm goin' in after it

I wanted...

[ E  G  D  E ] 

[ D  G  D  F ]
   
I wanted...

[ D  G  D  F ] 

I wanted everything (2x)

[ D  G  D  F ] 

I wanted everything (2x)

Don't Come Close
[ D  A  G ] x3

A
You know it's generally known 
G
You got everything at home
A
Kisses out of desperation 
G
Bring you more aggravation

        D      A     G   
And you don't come close 
You don't come close 
You don't come close

You bring out your souvenirs 
Soak them wet with your tears
You lose your imagination 
Out of more aggravation

And you don't...

G
You turn red with rage 
A
But act your age
G
Only thing that your regret 
    B               A
You need more time to forget

And you don't...

You know it's generally... 

And you don't...

You turn red with rage... 

And you don't...

[ G  A ] x3

[ G  B  A ]

And you don't...
   
You don't come close (2x)

I Don't Want You
[ G  F ] x4

G     F       G      F
You said that you'd be true 
G      F      G       D#
Baby said that you'd be true
G        F     G       F
I don't care, I don't care 
G        F     G       D#  D
I don't care, I don't care
  
G       F     D#
I don't want you 
Don't want you 
I don't want you anymore

[ G  F ] x4

You said that you'd be mine 
Baby said that you'd be mine
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't care, I don't care

I don't want you... 

D#       F  D#       F       G F D#  
I want you I want you to stay
D#        F      D#          F        G    F   
But I guess that it just can't be that way 

[ G  F ] x4

You said that you'd be true 
Baby said that you'd be true
I don't care, I don't care 
I don't care, I don't care

I don't want you... 

Don't want want you... 
 

Needles And Pins
F#

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

A#                                    G#
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
                      G 
It was the face of love, and I knew
                A#
I had to run away
                                G 
And get down on my knees and pray, that they go away
                   A#               G 
And still it begins, needles and pins
                      D#                    F 
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
              A#
Needles and pins, needles and pins, needles and pins
