[Em]
I see a little rain that [B] I want to paint it black.
[Em] No colors anymore I [B] want them to be black.
[D] I see the girls walk [E] by dressed in their summer clothes.
[D] I have [G] to turn my head [A] until my darkness goes.
[Em] I see a line of cars [B] and they're all painted black.
[E] Their flowers in my love [B] bowl never to come back.
[E] I see people turn their heads [Em] and quickly look away.
Like a newborn baby it [E] just happens [B] every day.
[E] I [Em] look inside [B] myself and there is painted black.
[Em] I see a red door and I [B] want to paint it black.
[E] If I look hard [Em] enough into the setting sun,
my love will last [D] from each [A] until the morning [Em] comes.
No more will my green sea go [B] turn a deeper blue.
I could not foresee this [B] thing happening to you.
[D] Maybe then I'll fade [E] away and I'll have to face your [Em] back.
[D] Not easy [G] facing up when [A] your world [B] is black.

[E] [Em] [B] I [E] want to see you painted, [B] painted black.
Black at dawn, black at [Em] night.

Yeah!
