[Verse 1]
C#m E
Oh, cherry red soles,
F#m A
I saw you dancing round real slow,
F#m G#m A
Under the gaze of one light bulb alone.
C#m E
Oh, couldn't you speak,
F#m A
Or were you lost in melody,
F#m G#m A
At least that's how the memory unfolds.
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m B E C#m
Oh, don't suppose I'll ever know,
F#m B E
Oh, how I left you behind.
[Chorus]
E G#m C#m
So long were the days were the days we called our own,
E A
Forgive me if i can walk alone,
C#m B
When I was a child I know, I know.
E G#m C#m
And so when that old street calls your name,
E A
But you'll never feel the same again,
C#m B
Screaming the words you can't explain.
E
Oh cherry red,
C#m A
Ba ba baa ba ba baa
B
da daa, oh cherry red.

[Verse 2]
C#m E
You painted my heart,
F#m A
I pulled your hand into the dark,
F#m G#m A
Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
C#m E F#m A
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
F#m G#m A
That's where I told you you would be my girl.
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m B E C#m
Oh, don't suppose I'll ever know,
F#m B E
Oh, how I left you behind.
