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

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