Am            D7
Through early morning fog I see
G              Em
visions of the things to be
    Am                 D
the pains that are withheld for me
  G           Em    E
I realize and I can see.  That...

Chorus:
Am         D
Suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.

Am              D7
I try to find a way to make
G              Em
all our little joys relate
Am                D
without that ever-present hate
G                   Em       E
but now I know that it's too late,

Chorus:
Am         D
And suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.
  


Am                  D7
The game of life is hard to play
G                 Em
I'm gonna lose it anyway
    Am               D
The losing card I'll someday lay
   G             Em      E
so this is all I have to say.

Chorus:
Am         D
That Suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.


Am              D7
The only way to win is cheat
    G             Em
And lay it down before I'm beat
Am             D
and to another give my seat
    G               Em       E
for that's the only painless feat.

Chorus:
Am         D
Cause Suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.


    Am                 D7
The sword of time will pierce our skins
   G                 Em
It doesn't hurt when it begins
Am                  D
But as it works its way on in
    G                     Em       E
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin

Chorus:
Am         D
For suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.


  Am               D7
A brave man once requested me
G                   Em
to answer questions that are key
   Am          D
is it to be or not to be
G                 Em      E
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

Chorus:
Am         D
Cause suicide is painless
   G              Em
It brings on many changes
    Am            D             Em         E
and I can take or leave it if I please.
       Am             D                 Em
...and you can do the same thing if you please.
