[Intro]
| Em | Em |
[Verse 1]
Em B
I see a red door, I say paint it black
Em B
No color in my life so just turn it black
Em D G D Em
I see the girls walking by dressed in their summer clothes
Em D G D A7 B
I'm gonna turn my head 'til the darkness goes
[Verse 2]
Em B
I see this line of cars, they're all painted black
Em B
Dead flowers and my love both never to come back
Em D G D Em
You people turn your heads, quick now, look away
Em D G D A7 B
Like a newborn baby is that just happens everyday
[Verse 3]
Em B
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Em B
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Em D G D Em
Maybe then, I'll fade away and not face the facts
Em D G D A7 B
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
[Verse 4]
Em B
No more will my deep sea shades a deeper blue
Em B
Maybe now this dark thing will start happening to you
Em D G D Em
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
Em D G D A7 B
My love be laughin' at me before the morning comes
[Interlude]
| Em | Em | B | B |

Black as night, black as coal
Em B

Em
I wanna see it painted, painted
B Em
Painted, painted black, yeah
