	        Em                               B7  
  I see a red door and I want it painted black  
Em                             B7   
  No colors 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                     B7  
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes   
  
Em                          B7  
  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black   
Em                                  B7  
  With flowers and my 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                  B7   
 Like a newborn baby it just ha  ppens ev'ryday   
  
Em                                                       B7  
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black   
Em                                                          B7  
  I see my red door and it has been painted black   
Em  D       G         D                                Em    
  Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts   
Em   D        G     D                            A             B7   
  It's not easy facing  up when your whole world is black   
  
Em                                                            B7  
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue    
Em                                                      B7  
  I could not forsee this thing happening to you   
Em  D       G         D           Em    
  If I look hard enough into the setting sun   
Em   D        G     D               A                       B7   
  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes   
  
Em                                                 B7  
  I see a red door and I want it painted black  
Em                                                      B7   
  No colors 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                        B7   
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
