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