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

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