Music & lyrics Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
Dm I see a red door and I A want it painted black.
Dm No colours anymore, I A want them to turn black.
Dm I C see the F girls walk Cby,
dressed Dm in their summer clothes.
Dm I C have to F turn my Chead
unC til my darkness Agoes.
Dm I see a line of cars and A theyβre all painted black.
Dm With flowers and my love
both A never to come back.
Dm I C see people F turn their C heads
and Dm quickly look away.
Dm Like a C newborn F baby,
C it just C happens every Aday.
Dm I look inside myself and A see my heart is black.
Dm I see my red door
and I must A have it painted black.
Dm Maybe C then Iβll F fade aCway
and Dm not have to face the facts.
Dm Itβs not C easy F facing Cup
when C your whole world is A black.
Dm No more will my green sea go A turn a deeper blue.
Dm I could not forsee this thing A happening to you.
Dm If C I look F hard Cenough
Dm into the setting sun,
Dm my C love will F laugh with Cme
beC fore the morning A comes.
Dm I see a red door and I A want it painted black.
Dm No colours anymore I A want them to turn black.
Dm I C see the F girls walk Cby
dressed Dm in their summer clothes.
Dm I C have to F turn my Chead
unC til my darkness Agoes.
