[Verse]
A           G#    C#
Sweet pear, sweet pear
F#m                               Bm       E
Those who say they love you would never dare
A
I'll watch out for you
G#m    C#7     F#m
I'll always be there
               Bm
In the hour of your distress you need not fear
D                        G             C     A#
In all the world there's only one true love
                 A       D  G
And finding it's hard enough
Bm          D           G    C    A#
I bless whatever in the sky above
                 A  D  E
For bringing you to me

[Verse 2]
A                G#   C#7
But there's a void without your kiss
F#m                      Bm             Dm
I wake on the precipice above the abyss
    A                            G#m    C#       F#m
And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss
                      Bm           Dm
Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with
D                        G        C      A#
Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong
                      A      D     G
That made you want to run away
Bm             A           G              C     A#
And now you're back where I pretend you belong
               A          D
I wonder every night and day
    E
How long

[Verse 3]
    A                            G#m    C#       F#m
And though the touch of your lips these fears dismiss
                      Bm           Dm
Make no mistake there is an ache I have to live with
D                        G        C      A#
Was my grip too lose, my grip too strong
                      A      D     G
That made you want to run away
Bm             A           G              C     A#
And now you're back where I pretend you belong
               A          D
I wonder every night and day
    E
How long

[Verse 4]
A      G#m7  C#7
I swear this is my prayer
F#m                                    Bm        E  A
Till we're burned and scattered in the atmosphere
   A               G#m        C#7     F#m
Or lost in the world across a crowded room
                             Bm          Dm
I am your stupid lover, your wretched groom
