I see red

And it hurts my head

Guess it must be something

       E
That I read

A rising summer sun

The battle lost or won

The pulse to passion

[Verse 2]

      C#m
Feels red

       C#m
Inside my head

And truth is often better

     F#      E
Left unsaid

[Verse 3]

Said red, red

                       C#m
Thinking about the overhead

The underfed

Couldn't we talk about something else instead?

Says the National Midnight Star

(It's true)

What you believe is what you are

A pair of dancing shoes

    D#5
The Soviets are the blues

The reds

           C#m
Under your bed

F#
Lying in the darkness

F#         E
Dead ahead

                       G#
You know it gets to us all

The pain that is learning

        F#
And the rain that is burning

[Verse 5]

     C#m
Feel red

         C#m
Still... go ahead

You see black and white

          F#
And I see red

Red

The under-read

C#m C#m F# E C#m C#m F# (fade out)
