[Verse]
Am           G         C          F
Why should I play this game of pretend?

  Am        G         C          F
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?

Am           G       C        F
Such a great son and wonderful friend

    G         C        F
Oh, don't the tears just pour

Am           G      C          F
I could curl up and hide in my room

Am          G         C         F
There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow

Am            G    C         F
I could give in to all of the gloom

    G        C          G
But tell me, tell me what for
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                           C/E
Why should I have a heavy heart?

F                                   Am
Why should I start to break in pieces?

Dm                     C/E          G
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[Chorus]
C
Why should I play the grieving girl and

G
Lie saying that I miss you

         Am                F                 G
And that my world has gone dark without your light

Dm     C/E     D/F# F      Am
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Instrumental] Am C F G Am C F G [Verse]
Am             G        Em         F
I gave you the world, you threw it away,

Am            G      Em            F
leaving these broken pieces behind you

Am         G        Em         F
Everything wasted, nothing to say

    Dm            G
So I can sing no requiem

Am          G      Em       F
I hear your voice, feel you near

Am           G       Em          F
Within these words I finally find you

Am             G         Em           D
And now that I know that you are still here

  F            G
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                           C/E
Why should I have a heavy heart?

F                                   Am
Why should I say I'll keep you with me?

Dm                     C/E          G
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[Chorus]
C
Why should I play the grieving girl and

G
Lie saying that I miss you

         Am                F                 G
And that my world has gone dark without your light

Dm     C/E     D/F# F
I will sing no requiem

G
Tonight
[Bridge]
                       F                        G
'Cuz when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep

                F
No one lights a candle to remember

G                    F
No, no one mourns at all

                        G
When they lay them down to sleep

         Bb             F             C
So don't tell me that I didn't have it right

      Bb              F                C
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white

      Bb                F            Bb              F
After all you've put me through, don't say it wasn't true

     Dm                              F
That you were not the monster that I knew,
[Chorus]
      C
Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and

G
Lie saying that I miss you

        Am                 F    C/E G
And that my world has gone dark
[Coda]
Dm     C/E     D/F#  F
I will sing no requiem

Dm     C/E     D/F#  F
I will sing no requiem

Dm     C/E     D/F#  F
I will sing no requiem

     Am
tonight

C F
Oh-oh

G Am
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
