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