(VERSE)
E minorEm G+G
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet,
B minorBm A augmentedA
And no one is around to track my moves
E minorEm G+G
Racing the yellow lights to find the gate is open,
B minorBm A augmentedA
She's waiting in the room. I just step on through
(PRE-CHORUS)
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
OHHHHHHH You get in, you get done and then you get gone
B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
A augmentedA
But the sun came up again
(VERSE)
E minorEm G+G
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning
B minorBm A augmentedA
the curtains and the wine in a little white room
E minorEm G+G
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
B minorBm
She's sleeping like a child
A augmentedA
What could I do
(PRE-CHORUS)
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
OHHHHHHH You get in, you get done and then you get gone
B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
A augmentedA
But the sun came up again
(CHORUS)
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
(BRIDGE)
D MajorD G+G
Suddenly I'm in over my head
B minorBm A augmentedA
and I can hardly breathe
D MajorD G+G
Suddenly I'm floating over
B minorBm A augmentedA
her bed and I feel everything
D MajorD G+G
Suddenly I know exactly what I did,
B minorBm A augmentedA
but I can not move a thing
D MajorD G+G
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done
B minorBm A augmentedA
And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
E minorEm
I'm gone
(SOLO)
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
(CHORUS)
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
B minorBm D MajorD G+G E minorEm
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
