[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
