Intro: D/F# A/E : B5 G ::

 D/F#      A/E             B5           G  
 Late one night I heard a knock at the door 
     D/F#              A/E          B5  G 
 The boys were really painting the town 
 D/F#         A/E          B5      G 
 I was just another bored teenage boy 
 D/F#            A/E         B5   G 
 Kickin' up and actin' the clown... 
 D9  A  Bm7  G  D9  A  Bm7  G
           Yeah 


  D9       A       Bm7    G
 One dare led to another dare 
       D9                  A        Bm7  G
 Then things were getting out of control 
     D9         A            Bm7       G
 We hopped the fence and we stole the pears 
        D9           A          Bm7  G
 And I threw away a part of my soul 
         D9           A          Bm7  G
 Yes, I threw away a part of my soul   Now it's


  D9                  A 
 Haunting me how I stole those pears 
           Bm7
 'Cause I loved the wrong 
       G
 Even though I knew a better way 
D9             A
 Not for hunger or poverty 
         Bm7                    G
 It was more than pears that I ended up 
            D9 A Bm7 G  D9  A  Bm7  G
 throwin' away... Yeah 


 D9        A           Bm7      G
 Time goes by, now I'm old and grey 
        D9              A   Bm7  G
 Those pears are just a memory 
          D9     A        Bm7    G 
 I would gladly pay all I have today 
      D9                   A         Bm7  G
 But that's just not the problem you see... 'cause it's 
  

  D9                  A 
 Haunting me how I stole those pears 
           Bm7
 'Cause I loved the wrong 
       G

D9             A
 Not for hunger or poverty 
         Bm7                    G
 It was more than pears that I ended up 
            D9 A Bm7 G  D9  A  Bm7  G  F#
 throwin' away... Yeah              Yeah
 
 
 Bm7       A/C#          G
 Why do we love all the things that are wrong 
E
 Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song 
 D9         A          G
 Why do we do what we don't wanna do 
          D9                    A
 When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough
