Verse
D
Hello reaper, have we met?
Bm 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?
Em A D
Right when things were finally going my way
D
I met this angel
D
She taught me to fly
Em A D
Yeah, she showed me all the colors of the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
G
So please don't take her away
Bm
But if you do
G A
I'm just skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
Bm A
When the man in black
G D
Comes to cash his check
Bm G D
And you're holding on to your final breath
Bm D
When you walk out the door
Bm
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
Bm
But you look brand new
Em 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]
Em Bm
So if for-ever leaves too soon
G A
Only skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
Bm A
When the man in black
G D
Comes to cash his check
Bm A G D
And you're holding on to your final breath
Bm D
When you walk out the door
Bm
Know that I will too
G A Bm A D
I hope they build coffins for two-o-o-o
[Bridge]
Bm A G
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
Bm A D
Coffins for two-o-o-o
Bm A G D
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
[Chorus]
Em* D*
When the man in black

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

I hope they build coffins for two

I hope they build coffins for two
