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

[Verse 2]
G#m B
You painted my heart,
C#m E
I pulled your hand into the dark,
C#m D#m E
Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
G#m B C#m E
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
C#m D#m E
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.
