Verse
A
Hello reaper, have we met?
F#m A
Still so many things I haven't said
Hello darkness, you're here again
D E A
Last I saw you, I was tangled in my head
Hello sadness, are you here to stay?
Bm E A
Right when things were finally going my way
A
I met this angel
A
She taught me to fly
Bm E A
Yeah, she showed me all the colors of the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
D
So please don't take her away
F#m
But if you do
D E
I'm just skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
F#m E
When the man in black
D A
Comes to cash his check
F#m D A
And you're holding on to your final breath
F#m A
When you walk out the door
F#m
Know that I will too
D E A
I hope they build coffins for two
[Verse 2]
A
When I was younger, I used to pray
D E
That my life was more than the sum of my mistakes
A
And now you're here, dressed in white
D E A
I guess he heard my voice on all those lonely nights
A
Now we're older
F#m
But you look brand new
Bm E A
Every day I'm falling more in love with you
A
When you're tired and your eyes close
D E A
You won't have to take your final walk a-lone
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m
So if for-ever leaves too soon
D E
Only skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
F#m E
When the man in black
D A
Comes to cash his check
F#m E D A
And you're holding on to your final breath
F#m A
When you walk out the door
F#m
Know that I will too
D E F#m E A
I hope they build coffins for two-o-o-o
[Bridge]
F#m E D
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
F#m E A
Coffins for two-o-o-o
F#m E D A
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
[Chorus]

D* C*
And you're holding on to your final breath

When you walk out the door

Know that I will too

I hope they build coffins for two

I hope they build coffins for two
