[F#]
[A]
[F#] [E] I see a red door and [B] I want it painted black.
[E] No colors anymore, [B] I want them to turn black.
I [Am] [G] see [C] the girls [G] walk by [Am] dressed in their summer clothes.
[G] They have [C] to turn [G] my [D] head until my dark [E] clothes.
[A] I see a line of [B] cars and they are painted black.
[E] With flowers and my [B] love, but never to come back.
[G] I see people [C]
turn [G] their head, [Am] but quickly look away.
[A] Like a [C] newborn [G] baby, it [D] just happens [E] everyday.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black.
I see my red door and it's heading into [E] black.
[A] [G] Maybe then [C] I'll fade [G] away [Am] and not have to face the facts.
[A] It's [G] not [C] easy facing [G] up [D] when your whole world [E] is black.
I want to [Am] see it painted, painted, painted [E] black.
Maybe I want to [A] see it painted, painted, painted [E] black.
I see a red door and I [Em] [A] want it painted
[D#] black.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue.
[G#] [F#] I could not foresee [G] this thing [B] happening till [E] [Am] yesterday.
[G] If I [C] look hard [G] enough [Am] until the sunshine,
[G] my love [C] will laugh [G] with me [D] before the morn [E] comes.
