[Intro]
C C F G C
[Verse 1]
C C
Hello reaper, have we met?
F G C
Still so many things I haven't said
C C
Hello darkness, you'??re here again
F G C
Last I saw you, I was tangled in my head
C C
Hello sadness, are you here to stay?
F G C
Right when things were finally going my way
C C
I met this angel, she taught me to fly
F 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 G F C
And you're holding on to your final breath
Am C
When you walk out the door
C G Am
Know that I will too
F G C
I hope they build coffins for two
[Verse 2]
C C
When I was younger, I used to pray
F G C
That my life was more than the sum of my mistakes
C C
And now you're here, dressed in white
F G C
I guess he heard my voice on all those lonely nights
C G Am
Now we're older, but you look brand new
F G C
Every day I'm falling more in love with you
C 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
C G Am
Know that I will too
F G Am G F
I hope they build coffins for two-o-o-o
[Bridge]
C Am G F
I'??m never leaving you-u-u-u
C Am G F
Coffins for two-o-o-o
C Am G F C
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
[Chorus]

When you walk out the door
C G Am
Know that I will too

I hope they build coffins for two
F* G* . Am*
I hope they build coffins for two
