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

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