Also, it has been pointed out that when you play the riff, you should quickly strike the

(Em)                       (B)
  I see a red door and I want it painted black.

(Em)                     (B)
  No colours anymore I want them to turn black.

Em  D       G          D          Em         Em
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes.

Em  D       G       D       A               B
  I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes.

Verse 2

  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black.

(Em)                              (B)
  With flowers and by love both never to come back.

Em  D          G          D         Em          Em
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away.

Em       D        G    D       A             B
  Like a new born baby it just happens every day.

  I look inside myself and see my heart is black.

  I see my red door and I want it painted black.

Em      D         G      D       Em           Em
  Maybe then I'll fade a-way 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 (softer for first two lines)

(Em)                             (B)
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue.

(Em)                              (B)
  I could not forsee this thing happening to you.

Em   D      G      D        Em        Em
  If I look hard e-nough in-to the setting sun

Em   D         G          D     A                B
  My love will laugh with me be-fore the morning comes.
