[Verse 1]
Fm
  I see a red door and I
C
want it painted black.
Fm
  No colours anymore I
  C
want them to turn black.
Fm  Eb       Ab          Eb
  I see the girls walk by dressed
 Fm
in their summer clothes.
Fm  Eb       Ab
  I have to turn my
  Eb     Bb               C
head until my darkness goes.

[Verse 2]
Fm
  I see a line of cars and
  C
they're all painted black.
Fm
  With flowers and my love both
C
never to come back.
Fm  Eb          Ab          Eb
  I see people turn their heads and
  Fm
quickly look away.
Fm       Eb       Ab    Eb
  Like a newborn baby it just
  Bb           C
happens every day.

[Verse 3]
Fm
  I look inside myself and
C
see my heart is black.
Fm
  I see my red door, I must
C
have it painted black
Fm      Eb         Ab     Eb
  Maybe then I'll fade away and
  Fm
not have to face the facts.
Fm         Eb    Ab      Eb
  It's not easy facing up when
Bb                      C
your whole world is black.

[Verse 4]
Fm
  No more will my green sea go
C
turn a deeper blue.
Fm
  I could not forsee this thing
  C
happening to you.
Fm   Eb
  If I look
Ab      Eb      Fm
hard enough into the setting sun
Fm   Eb         Ab
  My love will laugh with
 Eb    Bb                C
me before the morning comes.

[Verse 5]
Fm
  I see a red door and I
  C
want it painted black.
Fm
  No colours anymore I
  C
want them to turn black.
Fm  Eb       Ab          Eb
  I see the girls walk by dressed
 Fm
in their summer clothes.
Fm  Eb       Ab
  I have to turn my
  Eb     Bb               C
head until my darkness goes.
