[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
C F  
Oh-oh
G Am 
Oh-oh
