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

Em G
You painted my heart,
Am C
I pulled your hand into the dark,

Behind the pool club parking lot we stood.
Em G Am C
Oh out in that street where only fools and sinners meet,
Am Bm C
That's where I told you you would be my girl.
