Capo 4
[Intro]
Am C F G
Am C F G
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 can 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
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 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
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
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 F
I will sing no requiem
G
Tonight
F G
Cuz 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
A# F C
So don't tell me that I didn't have it right
A# F C
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
A# F A# 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
C
Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and
G
Lie saying that I miss you
Am F C G
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
