Verse 1
D5                  G5
Through early morning fog i see
C5       C5/B      A5       
  Visions of the things to be
D5                     G5
The pains that are withheld from me
  C5  C5/B           A5
I realise that i can see

Chorus 1
D5               G5
That suicide is painless
C5     C5/B          A5      
  It brings so many changes

And i can take or leave them if i please

Verse 2
D5                     G5
The game of life is hard to play
C5       C5/B      A5      
I'm going to lose it anyway
Dm                     G
The losing card I'll someday lay
C5       C5/B      A5
So this is all I have to say

Verse 3
Dm                     G
The sword of time will pierce our skins
C5       C5/B      A5
It doesn't hurt when it begins
Dm                     G
But as it works its way on in
C5       C5/B      A5
The pain grows stronger watch is grin

Chorus 3
D5               G5
That suicide is painless

  It brings so many changes

And i can take or leave them if i please

Verse 4
D5                     G5
An brave man once requested me
C5       C5/B      A5
To answer questions that are key
D5                     G5
Is it to be or not to be
C5       C5/B      A5
And i replied oh why ask me?
