[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

[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
