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

Comes to cash his check

And you're holding on to your final breath
Cm A#
When you walk out the door
D# Cm
Know that I will too

I hope they build coffins for two
