Verse 1
             Bm                       GI work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet...
              Bm               AAnd no one is around, to track my moves
           Bm                         GRacing the yellow lights, to find the gate is open...
                    Bm                 AShe's waiting in the room, I just step on through

Pre-Chorus
Bm              G                                 BmWoah, oah... You get in, you get done and then you gone
         G
                                         BmYou never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
                
         G                                          BmShould've turned around and left before the sun came up again

                A      But the sun came up again

Verse 2
         Bm                         G                                  Bm
Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
           A
In a little white room
         Bm                      G                                  Bm
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me, she's sleeping like a child

          AWhat could I do

Chorus
Bm                      G*               A*
 I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm                              G*           A*
 I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm                    G*           A*
 I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm                              G*          A*
 Little did I know that girl was an assassin too


Bridge
Bm           G               Bm               A
 Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
Bm                G                Bm               A
    Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
Bm              G              Bm                       A
 Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can’t move a thing
Bm                 G                   Bm  And suddenly I know exactly what I've done,
                           Aand what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me



   Bm                G                 Bm               AI'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone...
