A5            D5
Through early morning fog I see
G5              E5
visions of the things to be
    A5                 D5
the pains that are withheld for me
  G5           E5    E5
I realize and I can see.  That...

Chorus:
A5         D5
Suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.

A5              D5
I try to find a way to make
G5              E5
all our little joys relate
A5                D5
without that ever-present hate
G5                   E5       E5
but now I know that it's too late,

Chorus:
A5         D5
And suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.
  


A5                  D5
The game of life is hard to play
G5                 E5
I'm gonna lose it anyway
    A5               D5
The losing card I'll someday lay
   G5             E5      E5
so this is all I have to say.

Chorus:
A5         D5
That Suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.


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

Chorus:
A5         D5
Cause Suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.


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

Chorus:
A5         D5
For suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.


  A5               D5
A brave man once requested me
G5                   E5
to answer questions that are key
   A5          D5
is it to be or not to be
G5                 E5      E5
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

Chorus:
A5         D5
Cause suicide is painless
   G5              E5
It brings on many changes
    A5            D5             E5         E5
and I can take or leave it if I please.
       A5             D5                 E5
...and you can do the same thing if you please.
