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