Intro -x2-: Dbm E A B
Verse:
Dbm B E A
Why should I play this game of pretend?
Dbm B E A
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Dbm B E A
Such a great son and wonderful friend
B E A
Oh don't the tears just pour
Dbm B E A
I can curl up and hide in my room
Dbm B E A
There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow
Dbm B E A
I could give in to all of the gloom
B E B
But tell me, tell me what for
Pre-Chorus:
Gbm E
Why should I have a heavy heart?
A Dbm
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Gbm E B
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Chorus:
E
Why should I play the grieving girl and
B
Lie saying that I miss you
Dbm A B
And that my world has gone dark without your light
Gbm E Gb A Dbm
I will sing no requiem tonight

I will sing no requiem tonight

Tonight
Bridge:
A B
'Cuz when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep

No one lights a candle to remember

No, no one mourns at all

When they lay them down to sleep
D A E
So don't tell me that I didn't have it right
D A E
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
D A D A
After all you've put me through, don't say it wasn't true

And that my world has gone dark
