Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][G]
[Am][G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Why should I p[G]lay this g[Em]ame of pre[F]tend?
Re[Am]memering [G]through a [Em]secondhand [F]sorrow?
[Am]Such a great [G]son and [Em]wonderful [F]friend
Oh, [G]don't the [C]tears [F]just pour

[Verse 2]
[Am]I could curl up [G]and hi[Em]de in my roo[F]m
[Am]Here in my [G]bed, still [Em]sobbing to[F]morrow
[Am]I could give in [G]to all[Em] of the[F] gloom
But [G]tell me, [F]tell me [G]what for

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]Why should I have a heavy [Am]heart?
[F]Why should I start to break in [G]pieces?
[Dm]Why should I go and fall a[Am]part for y[G]ou?

[Chorus 1]
[C]Why should I play the grieving girl
[G]and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that [Am]my world has gone d[F]ark
without your [G]light?
[Dm]I will sin[C]g no req[D]uiem ton[F]ight

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][F][G]
[Dm][Am][F][G]

[Verse 3]
We [Am]gave you the [G]world,
you [Em]threw it a[F]way
[Am]Leaving these [G]broken [Em]pieces be[F]hind you
[Am]Everything [G]wasted, [Em]nothing to sa[F]y
So [Dm]I can sing no req[C]uiem

[Verse 4]
I [Am]hear your [G]voice, I [Em]feel [F]you near
With[Am]in these w[G]ords, I fi[Em]nally fi[F]nd you
And [Am]now that I k[G]now that y[Em]ou are s[D]till here
[F]I will sing no r[G]equiem tonight

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]Why should I have a heavy [Am]heart?
[F]Why should I I'll keep you [G]with me?
[Dm]Why should I go and fall a[Am]part for y[G]ou?

[Chorus 2]
[C]Why should I play the grieving girl
[G]and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that [Am]my world has gone d[F]ark
without your [G]light?
[Dm]I will sin[C]g no req[D]uiem ton[F]ight

[Bridge 1]
[G]'Cause when the vil[C]lains fal[F]l,
the kingdoms never [G]weep
No one [C]lights a [F]candle to remember
[G]No, no one mou[C]rns at all[F]
When they lay them [Am]down [G]to sleep
So, [F]don't [Bb]tell me that I [F]didn't have [C]it right
Don't [Bb]tell me that it [C]wasn't black [C]and white
After [Bb]all you put me t[F]hrough
Don't [Bb]say it wasn't [F]true
That [D]you were not the monster
That I [F]knew

[Chorus 3]
'Cause [C]I cannot play the grieving girl
[G]and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that [Am]my world has gone d[F]ark
[G]I w[Dm]ill sing [C]no requi[D]em[F]
[Dm]I will sin[C]g no req[D]uiem[F]
[Dm]I will sin[C]g no req[D]uiem ton[F]ight

[Outro 1]
[Am]Oh, [G]oh, [F]oh, [G]oh[Am]
[G]Oh, [F]oh, [G]oh, [Am]oh
