Performed by Vanessa Carlton

Verse 1:
Am		     E
 I see a red door and I want it painted black

Am          E
 No colors anymore I want them to turn black

Bridge 1:
Am  G     C    G     Am
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes

   G     C    G  D9         E7
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes

Verse 2:
Am  E
  I see a line of cars and they are painted black

Am                E
  With flowers and my love both never to come back


Bridge 2:
Am  G    C   G   Am
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away

    G    C  G   D9         E7
  Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day


Verse 3:
Am             E
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black

Am              E
  I see my red door and its heading into black

Bridge 3:
Am  G     C   G  Am
  Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts

    G   C  G      D9           E7
  It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

         Am             E7
  I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black

              Am             E7
  Oh baby, I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black

  Oh baby... A5  Am9


Am               E
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue

Am                E
  I could not foresee this thing happening to you


Bridge 4:
Am  G   C    C   Am
  If I look hard enough into the setting sun

   G     C  G     D9        E7
  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes


Am            E
  "Mm"______________________________

Am            E
  "Mm"______________________________

Am            E
  "Mm"______________________________

Am            E
  "Mm"______________________________


         Am            E
  I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black oh,

  Am                         E7
  Black as night, black as coal, I wanna see the sun


  Blotted out from the sky

  Am             E7
  Painted, painted, painted black

  Am             E7
  Painted, painted, painted black



THE END!
