Verse 1:
G+G
Hello reaper, have we met?
E minorEm               G+G
Still so many things I haven't said

Hello darkness, youâ??re here again
C majorC           D MajorD       G+G
Last I saw you, I was tangled in my head

Hello sadness, are you here to stay?
      A minorAm         D MajorD    G+G
Right when things were finally going my way
G+G
I met this angel
G+G
She taught me to fly
     A minorAm        D MajorD       G+G
Yeah, she showed me all the colors of the sky

Pre-Chorus:
        C majorC
So please don't take her away
      E minorEm
But if you do
  C majorC                   D MajorD
I'm just skin and bones, I know that there'??s room


Chorus:
     E minorEm   D MajorD
When the man in black
     C majorC    G+G
Comes to cash his check
      E minorEm         C majorC   G+G
And you're holding on to your final breath
     E minorEm      G+G
When you walk out the door
         E minorEm
Know that I will too
 C majorC        D MajorD      G+G
I hope they build coffins for two


Verse 2:
G+G
When I was younger, I used to pray
    C majorC           D MajorD
That my life was more than the sum of my mistakes
G+G
And now you're here, dressed in white
      C majorC         D MajorD        G+G
I guess he heard my voice on all those lonely nights
G+G
Now we're older
          E minorEm
But you look brand new
   A minorAm       D MajorD         G+G
Every day I'm falling more in love with you
G+G
When you're tired and your eyes close
     C majorC         D MajorD      G+G
You won't have to take your final walk a-lone

Pre-Chorus:
     A minorAm       E minorEm
So if for-ever leaves too soon
   C majorC                  D MajorD
Only skin and bones, I know that there's room


Chorus:
     E minorEm   D MajorD
When the man in black
     C majorC    G+G
Comes to cash his check
      E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC   G+G
And you're holding on to your final breath
     E minorEm      G+G
When you walk out the door
         E minorEm
Know that I will too
 C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm D MajorD  G+G
I hope they build coffins for two-o-o-o

         E minorEm D MajorD  C majorC
I'??m never leaving you-u-u-u
      E minorEm D MajorD  G+G
Coffins for two-o-o-o
         E minorEm D MajorD  C majorC G+G
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

When you walk out the door
     G+G   E minorEm
Know that I will too
 C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm
I hope they build coffins for two
