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