verse 1 

Em                       B 
  I see a red door and I want it painted black. 

Em                     B   
  No colours anymore I want them to turn black. 

Em  D       G          D          Em 
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes. 

Em  D       G       D       A               B 
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes. 

verse 2 

Em                         B      
  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black. 

Em                              B 
  With flowers and by love both never to come back. 

Em  D          G          D         Em 
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away. 

Em       D        G    D       A             B  
  Like a new born baby it just happens every day. 

verse 3 

Em                         B 
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black. 

Em                        B 
  I see my red door and I must have it painted black. 

Em/      D/         G/      D/       Em/                      
  Maybe then I'll fade a-way and not have to face the facts. 

Em/         D/    G/      D/       A/                   B/ 
  It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black. 

verse 4 

  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue. 

  I could not forsee this thing happening to you. 

Em   D      G      D        Em 
  If I look hard e-nough in-to the setting sun 

Em   D         G          D     A                B 
  My love will laugh with me until the morning comes. 

((verse 1)) 

Em                     B 
  Ooooohhh Ooooohhhhh Ooooohhhhhhh...   
Em                                     B 
I wanna see it painted, painted black, black as night 
               Em                           B 
Black as coal, I wanna see the sun, Blinded out from the sky 
               Em                                 B 
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black 
      Em      B 
Yeah, oOoOoOo Yeah!
