VERSE 1:
[Cm] I see a red door and I [G] want it paint it black
[Cm] no colours any more I [G] want them to turn black
[Cm] I [A#] see the [D#] girls walk [A#] by
Dressed [Cm] in their [A#] summer [D#] clothes
[Cm] I [A#] have to [D#] turn my [A#] head
Un-[Cm]-til the [A#] darkness [D#] goes

VERSE 2:
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day

VERSE 3:
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it paint it black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the fact
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 foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

VERSE 5:
I see a red door and I want it paint it black
No colours any more I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes, hmm, hmm

OUTRO:
I want to see your face, painted black, black as night, black as gold.
Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky.
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black, yeah
Hmm; hmm [Cnd with Intro]
