A5           D5 
Through early morning fog I see  
G5              E5 
visions of the things to be 
    A5                 D5      D5 
The pains that are withheld from me  
  G5           E5   B5 E5 
I realize and I can see that 
 
(Chorus:) 
A5        D5           G5              E5 
Suicide is Painless, it brings on many changes 
    C5 G5     A5       D5   E5 
And I can take or leave it if I please 
 

A5           D5 
Try to find a way to make  
G5              E5 
all our little joys relate 
    A5            D5    D5 
Without that ever-present hate  
    G5          E5       B5 E5 
and now I know that it's too late and... 
 
(Chorus) 
 

    A5             D5 
The game of life is hard to play  
G5                    E5 
I'm going to lose it anyway 
    A5               D5      D5 
The losing card I'll sometimes lay 
   G5               E5   B5 E5 
so this is all I'm going to  say, that..... 
 
(Chorus) 
 

    A5         D5 
The only way to win is cheat  
G5                      E5 
and lay it down before I'm beat 
    A5         D5   D5 
And to another give a seat  
    G5               E5 B5  E5 
for that's the only painless feat 'cause... 
 
(Chorus) 
 

    A5                D5 
The sword of time will pierce our skins  
   G5                 E5 
it doesn't hurt when it begins 
    A5              D5 D5 
But as it works its way  on in  
    G5                     E5   B5 E5 
the pain grows stronger - watch it  grin. For... 
 
(Chorus) 
 

  A5              D5 
A brave man once requested me  
   G5                         E5 
to answer questions that are key 
   A5          D5   D5 
Is it to be or not to be 
    G5               E5 B5 E5 
and I replied, "Oh, why ask me?" 'cause... 
 

A5        D5           G5              E5 
Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes 
    C5 G5     A5       D5   E5 
And I can take or leave it if I please 
    C5   G5    A5         D5     E5 
And you can do the same thing if you please.
