The Art of Suicide Emilie Autumn
Intro:
C Am Em Dm G7 (x 2)
[C] The art of su[Am]icide
Nightgowns and h[Em]air
Curls flying e[Dm]very which w[G7]here
[C] The pain too p[Am]ure to hide
Bridges of S[Em]ighs
Meant to con[Dm]ceal lover's l[G7]ies
[Em] Under the a[Am]rches
Of moonlight and [Em]sky
Suddenly e[Am]asy
To contemplate [Em]why
Why..[E7].
Chorus:
[Am]Why live a [Dm]life
[G] That's painted with p[C]ity
And sa[E7]dness and st[Am]rife
Why dream a d[Dm]ream
[G] That's tainted with tr[C]ouble
And l[E7]ess than it s[Am]eems
Why bother bot[Dm]hering
[G] Just for a p[C]oem
Or an[E7]other sad s[Am]ong to sing
Why live a l[Dm]ife
Why live a l[G]ife
[C] [Am] [Em] [Dm] [G7]
[C] The art of su[Am]icide
Pretty and c[Em]lean
Conveys a th[Dm]eatrical s[G7]cene
[C] "Alas, I'm g[Am]one!" she cried
Ankles dis[Em]played
Melodram[Dm]atically l[G7]aid
[Em] Under the a[Am]rches
Of moonlight and [Em]sky
Suddenly e[Am]asy
To contemplate [Em]why
Why...[E7]
Chorus:
[Am]Why live a l[Dm]ife
[G] That's painted with p[C]ity
And sa[E7]dness and st[Am]rife
Why dream a d[Dm]ream
[G] That's tainted with tr[C]ouble
And l[E7]ess than it s[Am]eems
Why bother bot[Dm]hering
[G] Just for a p[C]oem
Or an[E7]other sad s[Am]ong to sing
Why live a l[Dm]ife
Why live a l[G]ife
Em Am (x 7) Em E7
Chorus:
Why live a l[Dm]ife
[G] That's painted with p[C]ity
And sa[E7]dness and st[Am]rife
Why dream a d[Dm]ream
[G] That's tainted with tr[C]ouble
And l[E7]ess than it s[Am]eems
Why bother bot[Dm]hering
[G] Just for a p[C]oem
Or an[E7]other sad s[Am]ong to sing
Why live a l[Dm]ife
[G] Why live a l[C]ife[E7]
[Am] Why live a l[Dm]ife
Why live a l[G]ife
C Am Em Dm G7 (x 2)
[C] Life is [Am]not like Gloomy S[Em]unday
With a second e[Dm]nding
When the p[G7]eople are dis[C]turbed
Well they s[Am]hould be disturbed
[Em] Because there's a s[Dm]tory
That [G7]ought to be he[C]ard
Life is [Am]not like Gloomy Su[Em]nday
With a second en[Dm]ding
When the p[G7]eople are dis[C]turbed
Well they sh[Am]ould be disturbed
[Em] Because there's a l[Dm]esson
That[G7] really o[C]ught to be learned[Am] [Em] [Dm] [G7]
[C] The world is full of p[Am]oets
We don't n[Em]eed any more[Dm] [G7]
[C] The world is full of si[Am]ngers
We don't n[Em]eed any more[Dm] [G7]
[C] The world is full of lo[Am]vers
We don't n[Em]eed any more[Dm]... [G7] [C] [Am] [Em] [Dm] [G7]
[C] [Am] [Em] [Dm] [G7] [C]
