[Intro]
Am C F G
Am C F G
[Verse 1]
Am G C F G
Why should I play this game of pretend
Am G C F G
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow
Am G C F
Such a great son and wonderful friend
C G C G
Oh don't the tears just pour
Am G C F G
I could curl up and hide in my room
Am G C F G
There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow
Am G C F Am
I could give in to all of the gloom
G C G
But tell me tell me what for
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
Why should I have a heavy heart
F Am
Why should I start to break in pieces
Dm C 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 D F Am
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Instrumental]
C F G
Am C F G
[Verse 2]
Am G Em F G
I gave you the world you threw it away
Am G Em F G
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 G
I hear your voice I feel you near
Am G Em F G
Within these words I finally find you
Am G Em F Em
And now that I know that you are still here
Dm C D F
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
Why should I have a heavy heart
F Am
Why should I say I'll keep you with me
Dm C 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 I can see your light
Dm C D F
I will sing no requiem
G
Tonight
[Bridge]
F G Dm
Cause when the villains fall the kingdoms never weep
Dm C F C
No one lights a candle to remember
G F
No no one mourns at all
G
When they lay them down to sleep
Gm D
So don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Gm D
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
Gm F
After all you put me through
Gm F
Don't say it wasn't true
Dm
That you were not the monster
F
That I knew
[Coda]
C
Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and
G Am F C G
Lie saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark
Dm C D F
I will sing no requiem
Dm C D F
I will sing no requiem
Dm C D F Am
I will sing no requiem tonight
C F
Oh-oh
G Am
Oh-oh
C F
Oh-oh
G Am
Oh-oh
