Standard (EADGBE)

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

 the pains that are withheld for me

 I realize and I can see. That...

Chorus

Suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late,

Chorus

And suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

 The losing card I'll someday lay

 so this is all I have to say.

Chorus

That Suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

The only way to win is cheat

 And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

 for that's the only painless feat.

Chorus

Cause Suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

 The sword of time will pierce our skins

 It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

 The pain grows stronger...watch it grin

Chorus

For suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

 A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

 is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

Chorus

Cause suicide is painless

 It brings on many changes

 and I can take or leave it if I please.

 ...and you can do the same thing if you please.
