Verso 1: 
Am		         E 
 I see a red door and I want it painted black 
Am                    E 
 No colors anymore I want them to turn black 
Ponte 1: 
Am   G          C       G          Am 
   I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes 
     G          C       G    D9                 E7 
   I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes 
Verso 2: 
Am   E 
   I see a line of cars and they are painted black

   With flowers and my love both never to come back 
Ponte 2: 
Am   G        C      G     Am 
   I see people turn their heads and quickly look away 
        G       C    G     D9                  E7 
   Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

   I see my red door and its heading into black

Am    G          C      G    Am 
   Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts 
        G      C    G           D9                     E7 
   It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black 
                  Am                          E7 
   I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black 
                            Am                          E7

   Oh baby...  A5   Am9 
Am                              E 
   No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue 
Am                                E 
   I could not foresee this thing happening to you 
Ponte 4: 
Am    G      C       C     Am 
   If I look hard enough into the setting sun 
      G          C    G         D9               E7 
   My love will laugh with me before the morning comes 
Am                        E 
   "Mm"______________________________ 
Am                        E

Am                        E 
   "Mm"______________________________ 
                  Am                       E 
   I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black oh, 
   Am                                                  E7 
   Black as night, black as coal, I wanna see the sun 


   Blotted out from the sky 

   Am                          E7 
   Painted, painted, painted black 

   Am                          E7 
   Painted, painted, painted black
