Misc Musicals – Dear Evan Hansen - Requiem (Ukulele)

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
But tell me, tell me what for

Dm
Why should I have a heavy heart?

F
Why should I start to break in pieces?

Dm                                 G
Why should I go and fall apart for you?

C                                       G
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie

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

Dm     C       F             Am
I will sing no requiem tonight

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, and 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

Dm
Why should I have a heavy heart?

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

Dm                  C              G
Why should I go and fall apart for you?

C                                       G      
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie

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

Dm     C       F             Am
I will sing no requiem tonight

                         F                        G
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep

                F                 G
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
After all you put me through

      Bb            F
Don't say it wasn't true

     Dm
That you were not the monster

       F
That I knew

       C                                   G
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie

                                Am                F    C  G
Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark

Dm              Am   F
I will sing no requiem

C               Am   F
I will sing no requiem

Dm              Am   F
I will sing no requiem

     Am
Tonight

C  F
Oh-Oh

G  Am
Oh-Oh

C  F
Oh-Oh

G  Am
Oh-Oh
