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