Capo 4

Intro:
Am C F G
Am C F G


Verse:
Am                     C       F
Why should I play this game of pretend?
Am                    C          F
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Am                   C         F
Such a great son and wonderful friend
   G         C          F
Oh don't the tears just pour

Am                C          F
I can curl up and hide in my room
Am                    C       F
There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow
Am                 C          F
I could give in to all of the gloom
G
But tell me, tell me what for


Pre-Chorus:
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?


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             F            Am
I will sing no requiem tonight


Instrumental:
Am F G
Am C F


Verse:
Am                      Em         F
I gave you the world, you threw it away,
Am                   Em            F
leaving these broken pieces behind you
Am                 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
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?


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             F
I will sing no requiem
G
Tonight


Bridge:
                       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
They lay them 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,


Chorus:
      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


Coda:
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 F G
tonight

Am C F
