[Verse 1]
Dm                         A
   I see a red door and I want it painted black
Dm                        A
   No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
[Chorus 1]
F    C       F           C         Dm
   I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
F    C       F        C      G               A
   I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
[Verse 2]
Dm                           A
   I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
Dm                                A
   With flowers and my love both never to come back
[Chorus 2]
F    C          F           C         Dm
   I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
F         C        F     C       G             A
   Like a new born baby it just happens every day
[Verse 3]
Dm                          A
   I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Dm                           A
   I see my red door, I must have it painted black
[Chorus 3]
F        C         F      C       Dm
   Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
F           C     F      C      G                    A
   It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
[Verse 4]
Dm                              A
   No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
Dm                                A
   I could not foresee this thing happening to you
[Chorus 4]
F     C      F      C      Dm
   If I look hard enough into the setting sun
F     C         F           C   G                 A
   My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
[Verse 5]
Dm                         A
   I see a red door and I want it painted black
Dm                        A
   No colours anymore, I want them to turn black
[Chorus 5]
F    C       F           C         Dm
   I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
F    C       F        C      G               A
   I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
[Outro]
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-mm
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-mm
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-mm
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
               Dm
I wanna see it painted, painted black
A
Black as night, black as coal
  Dm                         A
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
               Dm
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
        A
Painted black, yeah!
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-mm
Dm                                    A
   Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm-mm
