Intro: D5 A5 : B5 G5 ::

 D5      A5             B5           G5  
 Late one night I heard a knock at the door 
     D5              A5          B5  G5 
 The boys were really painting the town 
 D5         A5          B5      G5 
 I was just another bored teenage boy 
 D5            A5         B5   G5 
 Kickin' up and actin' the clown... 
 D5  A5  B5  G5  D5  A5  B5  G5
           Yeah 


  D5       A5       B5    G5
 One dare led to another dare 
       D5                  A5        B5  G5
 Then things were getting out of control 
     D5         A5            B5       G5
 We hopped the fence and we stole the pears 
        D5           A5          B5  G5
 And I threw away a part of my soul 
         D5           A5          B5  G5
 Yes, I threw away a part of my soul   Now it's


  D5                  A5 
 Haunting me how I stole those pears 
           B5
 'Cause I loved the wrong 
       G5
 Even though I knew a better way 
D5             A5
 Not for hunger or poverty 
         B5                    G5
 It was more than pears that I ended up 
            D5 A5 B5 G5  D5  A5  B5  G5
 throwin' away... Yeah 


 D5        A5           B5      G5
 Time goes by, now I'm old and grey 
        D5              A5   B5  G5
 Those pears are just a memory 
          D5     A5        B5    G5 
 I would gladly pay all I have today 
      D5                   A5         B5  G5
 But that's just not the problem you see... 'cause it's 
  

  D5                  A5 
 Haunting me how I stole those pears 
           B5
 'Cause I loved the wrong 
       G5
 Even though I knew a better way 
D5             A5
 Not for hunger or poverty 
         B5                    G5
 It was more than pears that I ended up 
            D5 A5 B5 G5  D5  A5  B5  G5  F#5
 throwin' away... Yeah              Yeah
 
 
 B5       A5          G5
 Why do we love all the things that are wrong 
E5
 Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song 
 D5         A5          G5
 Why do we do what we don't wanna do 
          D5                    A5
 When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough
