[Verse 1]
Dm G7
Through early morning fog I see
C Am
Visions of the things to be
Dm7 G7
The pains that are withheld for me
C Am A7sus4 A7
I realize and I can see
[Chorus]
Dm7 G7
That suicide is painless
C Am
It brings on many changes
Fmaj7 C Dm G7 Am
And I can take or leave it, if I please
[Verse 2]
Dm G7
The game of life is hard to play
C Am
I'm gonna lose it anyway
Dm7 G7
The losing card I'll someday lay
C Am A7sus4 A7
So this is all I have to say
[Chorus]
Dm7 G7
Suicide is painless
C Am
It brings on many changes
Fmaj7 C Dm G7 Am
And I can take or leave it, if I please
[Verse 3]
Dm G7
The sword of time will pierce our skin
C Am
It doesn't hurt when it begins
Dm7 G7
But as it works its way on in
C Am A7sus4 A7
The pain grows stronger watch it grin
[Chorus]
Dm7 G7
Suicide is painless
C Am7
It brings on many changes
Fmaj7 C Dm G7 Am
And I can take or leave it, if I please
[Verse 4]
Dm G7
A brave man once requested me
C Am
To answer questions that are key
Dm7 G7
"Is it to be, or not to be?"
C Am A7sus4 A7
And I replied "Oh why ask me?"
[Chorus]
Dm7 G7
Suicide is painless
C Am
It brings on many changes
Fmaj7 C Dm G7 Am
And I can take or leave it, if I please
[Ending]

And you can do the same thing, if you please

The last notes in parenthesis are what I would play if I had those
frets.
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...
[chorus]:
That 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, and...
[Chorus]
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]
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]
MASH
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, but...
[Chorus]
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?'
'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 choose.

Lyrics:
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...
[chorus]:
That 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, and...
[Chorus]
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]
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]
MASH
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, but...
[Chorus]
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?'
'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 choose.
