...Intro...
Intro riff (X4)

...Verse 1...
       Dm                  G
Through early morning fog I see
C                        Am
Visions of the things to be
    Dm                          G
The pains that are withheld for me
  C                   Am
I realise that I can see

...Chorus...
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
    F      C    Dm           G     Am
And I can take or leave them if I please

...Verse 2...
     Dm                      G
The game of life is hard to play
   C              Am
I'm gonna lose it anyway
   Dm               G
The losing card of some delay
   C             Am
So this is all I have to say

...Chorus...
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
    F      C    Dm           G     Am
And I can take or leave them if I please

...Fill 1...

...Verse 3...
    Dm                            G
The sword of time will pierce our skin
           C               Am
It doesn't hurt when it begins
    Dm               G
But as it works its way on in
    C                    Am
The pain grows stronger watch I bring

...Chorus...
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
    F      C    Dm           G     Am
And I can take or leave them if I please

...Verse 4...
  Dm               G
A brave man once requested me
   C                Am
To answer questions that are key
   Dm          G
Is it to be or not to be
      C         Am
And I replied oh why ask me

...Chorus...
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
     F  C       Dm            G
And I can take or leave them if I...

...Bridge...
Bridge riff (X8)

....Chorus...
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
    F      C    Dm           G     Am
And I can take or leave them if I please
      Dm               G
That suicide is painless
  C                   Am
It brings so many changes
    F       C      Dm        G         Am
And you can do the same thing if you please
