Paint It Black
Am A A7
1. I
see a red door and I want it painted black,
Dm A A7
no colors any more I want them to turn black.
Dm C F G Dm
I see the
girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes,
Dm C F G A
A7
I have to turn my head until the
darkness goes.
Dm A A7
2. I
see a line of cars and they're all painted black,
Dm A A7
with flowers and my love both never to come back.
Dm C F
G Dm
I see people turn their heads and quickly
look away.
Dm C F G A A7
like a new born baby it just happens every day.
Dm A A7
3. I
look inside myself and see my heart is black,
Dm A A7
I see my red door and I want it painted black.
Dm C F
G Dm
Maybe then
I'll fade away and not have to face the facts,
Dm C F
G A A7
it's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
Dm

4.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue,
Dm A A7
I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
Dm C F G Dm
If I
look hard enough into the setting sun
Dm C F G A A7
my love will laugh with me before the morning comes.
Dm A
5. = 1.
+ I want to see your face, painted black, black as night
Dm A
Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
Dm A
I
wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah....
