Rolling Stones

[Intro]

Em  B

Em

[Verse]

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

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

Em  D       G       D       A               B

  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.

[Verse]

Em                         B    

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

Em                              B

  With flowers and my love both never to come back.

Em  D          G          D         Em

  I see people turn their heads and quickly look away.

Em       D       G    D       A             B

  Like a newborn baby it just happens every day.

[Verse]

Em                         B

  I look inside myself and see my heart is black.

Em                              B

  I see my red door and I must have it painted black

Em      D         G     D       Em

  Maybe then I'll fade away 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]

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

  If I look hard enough into the setting sun

Em   D         G          D     A                B

  My love will laugh with me before the morning comes.

[Verse]

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

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

Em  D       G       D       A               B

  I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
