Biography:
Dear Evan Hansen is nothing short of a Broadway sensation. With music and lyrics written by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul and book written by Stephen Levenson, the still-running 2015 musical tells the story of a lonely young man, the epnonymous Evan Hansen (played by Ben Platt until November 2017) tells a viral lie that escalates to crippling heights and serves as a commentary on our social media obsessed culture and tendency to selfishly wear other people's tragedies.

C#m E A B
C#m E A B
[Verse]
C#m B E A
Why should I play this game of pretend?
C#m B E A
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
C#m B E A
Such a great son and wonderful friend
B E A
Oh, don't the tears just pour?
C#m B E A
I could curl up and hide in my room
C#m B E A
There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow
C#m B E A
I could give in to all of the gloom
B E B
But tell me, tell me what for?
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E/G#
Why should I have a heavy heart?
A C#m
Why should I start to break in pieces?
F#m E/G# Bsus4
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 and that
C#m A B
My world has gone dark without your light
F#m E/G# F#/A# A C#m
I will sing no requi-em, tonight
[Instrumental]

C#m E A B
[Verse]
C#m B G#m A
I gave you the world, you threw it away
C#m B G#m A
Leaving these broken pieces behind you
C#m B G#m A
Everything wasted, nothing to say
F#m B
So I can sing no requiem
C#m B G#m A
I hear your voice, feel you near
C#m B G#m A
Within these words I finally find you
C#m B G#m F#
And now that I know that you are still here
A B
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m E/G#
Why should I have a heavy heart?
A C#m
Why should I say I'll keep you with me?

Why should I go and fall apart for you?

I will sing no requi-em, tonight
[Bridge]
(B) E/G# A B
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
E/G# A E/G#
No one lights a candle to remember
B A
No, no one mourns at all
B
When they lay them down to sleep
D A E
So don't tell them 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
F#m Aadd9
That you were not the monster that I knew
[Chorus]
E
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and
B/D#
Lie saying that I miss you and that
C#m A E B/D#
My world has gone dark
