Key: :[Bm] (w: Johnny Mandell, Mike Altman)

INTRO: [Bm]

VERSE 1:
Through [Em7] early morning [A7] fog I see
[D] Visions of the [Bm7] things [B7sus4] to [Bm7] be
The [Em7] pains that are with-[A7]-held for me
I [D] realize and [Bm7] I [B7sus4] can [Bm7] see; [B7] that

CHORUS:
[Em7] Suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [D/F#] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please

VERSE 2:
The [Em7] game of life is [A7] hard to play
[D] I'm going to lose it [Bm7] anyway
The [Em7] losing card I'll [A7] someday lay
And [D] this is all I [Bm7] have [B7sus4] to [Bm7] say [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
The [Em7] sword of time will [A7] pierce our skins
[D] It doesn't hurt when [Bm7] it begins
But [Em7] as it works its way on [A7] in
The [D] pain grows stronger, [Bm7] watch [B7sus4] it [Bm7] grin [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
A [Em7] brave man once re-[A7]-quested me
[D] To answer questions [Bm7] that are key
Is [Em7] it to be or not to [A7] be?
And [D] I replied, "Oh [Bm7] why [B7sus4] ask [Bm7] me?" [B7]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
And [Gmaj7] you can [D/F#] do the [Em7] same thing [A7] if you [Bm] please
