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

Comes to cash his check
D* C*
And you're holding on to your final breath
Dm C
When you walk out the door
F Dm
Know that I will too

I hope they build coffins for two
Am*
I hope they build coffins for two
