the song but decreases the volume of his guitar (listen to the record to see what i mean)

[VERSE 1]
D5                  G5
Through early morning fog i see
C5       C5/B      A5       A/B
  Visions of the things to be
D5                     G5
The pains that are withheld from me
  C5  C5/B           A5   A/B    A5
I realise that i can see
[CHORUS]
D5               G5
That suicide is painless
C5     C5/B          A5      A/B
  It brings so many changes
F5         E5       D5      G5      A5
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      A/B
I'm going to lose it anyway
Dm                     G
The losing card I'll someday lay
C5       C5/B      A5       A/B     A5
So this is all I have to say
REPEAT CHORUS
RIFF 1
[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             A
The pain grows stronger watch is grin
[CHORUS]
Dm               G
That suicide is painless
C5     C5/B          A5
  It brings so many changes
F5         E5       Dm       G      Am    (riff 2)
And i can take or leave them if i please
[VERSE 4](let ring with riff 3)
Dm                     G
An brave man once requested me
C5       C5/B      A5
To answer questions that are key
Dm                     G
Is it to be or not to be
C5       C5/B      A5
And i replied oh why ask me?
