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

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

But you'll never feel the same again,

Screaming the words you can't explain.
