Performed by Vanessa Carlton [Intro] A5 [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 until 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 it's 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

               A5   Am9
   Oh baby...

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
