PAINT IT BLACK
Performed by Vanessa Carlton

*Standard Tuning*

Intro: A5A5

Verse 1:
A minorAm		     E MajorE
 I see a red door and I want it painted black

A minorAm          E MajorE
 No colors anymore I want them to turn black

Bridge 1:
A minorAm  G+G     C majorC    G+G     A minorAm
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

   G+G     C majorC    G+G  D9D9         E7E7
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes

Verse 2:
A minorAm  E MajorE
  I see a line of cars and they are painted black

A minorAm                E MajorE
  With flowers and my love both never to come back

Bridge 2:
A minorAm  G+G    C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

    G+G    C majorC  G+G   D9D9         E7E7
  Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day


Verse 3:
A minorAm             E MajorE
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black

A minorAm              E MajorE
  I see my red door and its heading into black

Bridge 3:
A minorAm  G+G     C majorC   G+G  A minorAm
  Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

    G+G   C majorC  G+G      D9D9           E7E7
  It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

         A minorAm             E7E7
  I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black

              A minorAm             E7E7
  Oh baby, I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black

  Oh baby... A5A5  Am9Am9

A minorAm               E MajorE
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

A minorAm                E MajorE
  I could not foresee this thing happening to you


Bridge 4:
A minorAm  G+G   C majorC    C majorC   A minorAm
  If I look hard enough into the setting sun

   G+G     C majorC  G+G     D9D9        E7E7
  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes


A minorAm            E MajorE
  "Mm"______________________________

A minorAm            E MajorE
  "Mm"______________________________

A minorAm            E MajorE
  "Mm"______________________________

A minorAm            E MajorE
  "Mm"______________________________


         A minorAm            E MajorE
  I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black oh,

  A minorAm                         E7E7
  Black as night, black as coal, I wanna see the sun


  Blotted out from the sky

  A minorAm             E7E7
  Painted, painted, painted black

  A minorAm             E7E7
  Painted, painted, painted black


THE END!
