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

I will sing no requiem
Dm     Am   F
I will sing no requiem
   Am F G
tonight

Am C F
