Paint It Black - Vanessa Carlton

(Am) I see a red door and I (E7) want it painted black,

(Am) No colours anymore, I (E7) want them to turn black.

(Am) I (G) see the (C) girls walk (G) by dressed (Am) in their summer clothes,

I (G) have to (C) turn my (G) head un-(D)-til my darkness (E7) goes.

(Am) I see a line of cars and (E7) they are painted black,

(Am) With flowers and my love both (E7) never to come back

(Am) I (G) see people (C) turn their (G) heads and (Am) quickly look away

Like a (G) new born (C) baby (G) it just (D) happens every (E7) day.

(Am) I look inside myself and (E7) see my heart is black.

(Am) I see my red door and it's (E7) heading into black.

(Am) Maybe (G) then I'll (C) fade a-(G)-way and (Am) not have to face the facts

It's not (G) easy (C) facing (G) up when (D) your whole world is (E7) black.

I wanna’ see it (Am) painted, painted; painted (E7) black, oh baby.

I wanna’ see it (Am) painted, painted; painted (E7) black, oh baby.

(Am) No more will my green sea go (E7) turn a deeper blue,

(Am) I could not foresee this thing (E7) happening to you,

(Am) If I (G) look (C) hard (G) enough in-(Am)-to the setting sun,

My (G) love will (C) laugh with (G) me (D) before the (E7) morning comes

(Am) Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm (E7) mm mm mm mm mm mm ( x4)

I wanna’ see it (Am) painted, painted; painted (E7) black, oh

(Am) Black as night, black as coal (E7) I wanna’ see the sun blotted from the sky

(Am) Painted, painted, painted (E7) black oh baby

(Am) Painted, painted, painted (E7) black.
