Paint It Black

Artist Name
Rolling Stones
  Dm                               A7  
  I see a red door and I want it painted black  
Dm                             A7   
  No colors anymore I want them to turn black   
Dm  C       F         C                 Dm       
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes   
Dm   C        F       C         G                     A7  
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes   
  
Dm                          A7  
  I see a line of cars and they're all painted black   
Dm                                  A7  
  With flowers and my love, both never to come back   
Dm  C          F            C           Dm    
  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Dm  C          F       C    G               A7
  Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ry day   
  
Dm                                                       A7  
  I look inside myself and see my heart is black   
Dm                                                          A7  
  I see my red door and it has been painted black   
Dm  C       F         C                                Dm    
  Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts   
Dm   C        F     C                            G             A7   
  It's not easy facing  up when your whole world is black   
  
Dm                                                            A7  
  No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue    
Dm                                                      A7  
  I could not forsee this thing happening to you   
Dm  C       F         C           Dm    
  If I look hard enough into the setting sun   
Dm   C        F     C               G                       A7   
  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes   
  
Dm                                                 A7  
  I see a red door and I want it painted black  
Dm                                                      A7   
  No colors anymore I want them to turn black   
Dm  C       F         C            Dm  
  I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes   
Dm   C        F     C         G                        A7   
  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
