🎸 Intro: 

C Am C Am Em  Dm G7 (x2)



🎸 Verse 1:
C    Am     C
 The art of suicide
 Am              Em
 Nightgowns and hair
               Dm          G7
 Curls flying every which where
C    Am       C
 The pain too pure to hide


 Am          Em
 Bridges of sighs
             Dm            G7
 Meant to conceal lover's lies
Em           Am
 Under the arches
                  Em
 Of moonlight and sky
           Am
 Suddenly easy
                Em
 To contemplate why
         E7
 Why.
🎸 Chorus: 
 Am         Dm
 Why live a life
G7                    C
 That's painted with pity
       E7          Am
 And sadness and strife
              Dm
 Why dream a dream
G7                     C
 That's tainted with trouble
      E7           Am
 And less then it seems
              Dm
 Why bother bothering
G7           C
 Just for a poem
      E7         Am
 Or another sad song to sing
             Dm
 Why live a life
             G7
 Why life a life

C Am C Am Em  Dm G7

🎸 Verse 2:
C    Am     C
 The art of suicide
 Am          Em
 Pretty and clean
             Dm        G7
 Conveys a theatrical scene
C     Am    C
 "Alas
I'm gone!" she cried
 Am       Em
 Ankles displayed
       Dm          G7
 Melodramatically laid
Em          Am
 Under the arches
                  Em
 Of moonlight and sky
           Am
 Suddenly easy
                Em
 To contemplate why
          E7
 Why.  

🎸 Chorus: 

  Am         Dm
 Why live a life
G7                    C
 That's painted with pity
       E7          Am
 And sadness and strife
              Dm
 Why dream a dream
G7                     C
 That's tainted with trouble
      E7           Am
 And less then it seems
              Dm
 Why bother bothering
G7           C
 Just for a poem
      E7         Am
 Or another sad song to sing
             Dm
 Why live a life
             G7
 Why life a life

🎸 Bridge: 
Em Am (x7) Em E7

🎸 Chorus: 
 Am         Dm
 Why live a life
G7                    C
 That's painted with pity
       E7          Am
 And sadness and strife
              Dm
 Why dream a dream
G7                     C
 That's tainted with trouble
      E7           Am
 And less then it seems
              Dm
 Why bother bothering
G7           C
 Just for a poem
      E7         Am
 Or another sad song to sing
             Dm
 Why live a life
             G7
 Why life a life

C Am C Am Em  Dm G7 (x2)

🎸 Outro: 
C Am     C      Am         Em
 Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                Dm
 With a second ending
           G7           C
 When the people are disturbed
 Am         C          Am
 Well they should be disturbed
Em                  Dm
 Because there's a story
       G7           C
 That ought to be heard
Am        C     Am        Em
 Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                Dm
 With a second ending
           G7           C
 When the people are disturbed
 Am         C          Am
 Well they should be distrubed
Em                  Dm
 Because there's a lesson
    G7        C            Am     C Am Em  Dm G7
 That really ought to be learned
C    Am         C
 The world is full of poets
Am         Em         Dm G7
 We don't need anymore
C    Am         C
 The world is full of singers
Am          Em        Dm G7
 We don't need anymore
C    Am       C
 The world is full of lovers
Am         Em         Dm G7 C Am C Am Em  Dm G7
 We don't need anymore.  

C Am C Am Em  Dm G7 C
