PAINT IT BLACK
Performed by Vanessa Carlton
*Standard Tuning*
Intro:
Verse 1:
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
Bridge 1:
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head un-til my darkness goes
Verse 2:
I see a line of cars and they are painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
Bridge 2:
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day
Verse 3:
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and its heading into black
Bridge 3:
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black
Oh baby, I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black
Oh baby...
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
Bridge 4:
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
"Mm"______________________________
"Mm"______________________________
"Mm"______________________________
"Mm"______________________________
I wanna see it painted, painted...painted black oh,
Black as night, black as coal, I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
Painted, painted, painted black
Painted, painted, painted black
