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

Cm D#
You painted my heart,
Fm G#
I pulled your hand into the dark,
Fm Gm G#
Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
Cm D# Fm G#
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
Fm Gm G#
That's where I told you you would be my girl.
