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

[Verse 2]
A#m C#
You painted my heart,
D#m F#
I pulled your hand into the dark,
D#m Fm F#
Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
A#m C# D#m F#
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
D#m Fm F#
That's where I told you you would be my girl.
[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, don't suppose I'll ever know,

Oh, how I left you behind.
