Verse 1:
Em                       B
  I see a red door and I want it painted black
Em                    B
  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               B
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Verse 2:
Em                         B
  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
Em                              B
  With flowers and my love both never to come back
Em     D           G          D         Em
  I've seen people turn their heads and quickly look away
Em       D       G    D       A            B
  Like a newborn baby it 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 have to face the facts
Em         D    G      D       A                   B
  It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black


Verse 4:
Em                             B
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
Em                               B
  I could not foresee this thing happening to you
Em   D      G     D       Em
  If I look hard enough into the setting sun
Em   D         G          D    A                B
  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes


Interlude:
Em     B     Em     B
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Verse 5:
Em                       B
  I see a red door and I want it painted black
Em                    B
  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               B
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
