Intro: A5Verse 1:
AmE
I see a red door and I want it painted black
AmE
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
Bridge 1:
AmGCGAm
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
GCGD9E7
I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes
Verse 2:
AmE
I see a line of cars and they are painted black
AmE
With flowers and my love both never to come back
Bridge 2:
AmGCGAm
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
GCGD9E7
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
Verse 3:
AmE
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
AmE
I see my red door and its heading into black
Bridge 3:
AmGCGAm
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
GCGD9E7
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
AmE7
I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black

Oh baby, I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black
Oh baby... A5Am9AmE
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
AmE
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
Bridge 4:

If I look hard enough into the setting sun

My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

Blotted out from the sky

Painted, painted, painted black
