[Intro] D A Bm G B F# E [Verse 1]
D        A                 Bm           G
Late one night I heard a knock at the door

      D                A           Bm         G
The boys were really painting the town

D             A           Bm       G
I was just another bored teenage boy

D                A           Bm
Kickin' up and actin' the clown... Yeah
[Verse 2]
D          A         Bm   G
One dare led to another dare

      D                   A        Bm        G
Then things were getting out of control

D               A                  Bm         G
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears

         D           A         Bm       G
And I threw away a part of my soul

          D          A          Bm         G
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul                  (now it's)
[Chorus]
D                   A
Haunting me how I stole those pears

           Bm
'Cause I loved the wrong

        G
Even though I knew a better way

D              A
Not for hunger or poverty

        Bm                      G
It was more than pears that I ended up

          D A      Bm  A
throwin' away... Yeah
[Verse 3]
D         A            Bm       G
Time goes by - now I'm old and grey

       D              A     Bm
Those pears are just a memory

          D      A        Bm     G
I would gladly pay all I have today

       D                    A
But that's just not the problem you

Bm    G
see...              ('cause it's)
[Chorus]
D                   A
Haunting me how I stole those pears

           Bm
'Cause I loved the wrong

        G
Even though I knew a better way

D              A
Not for hunger or poverty

        Bm                      G
It was more than pears that I ended up

          D A      Bm  A
throwin' away... Yeah
[Bridge]
D          A              G               Bm
Why do we love all the things that are wrong

 D         A             Bm           G
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song

D         A          G             Bm
Why do we do what we don't want to do

         D           A           Bm             G
When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough
(D A Bm G x2) [Chorus]
D                   A
Haunting me how I stole those pears

           Bm
'Cause I loved the wrong

        G
Even though I knew a better way

D              A
Not for hunger or poverty

        Bm                      G
It was more than pears that I ended up

          D A      Bm  A
throwin' away... Yeah
And I don't even like pears that well...
