(VERSE) 
               Em                       G
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet,
               Bm                   A
And no one is around to track my moves
             Em                       G 
Racing the yellow lights to find the gate is open, 
                     Bm                       A
She's waiting in the room.  I just step on through


(PRE-CHORUS)
Em              Bm               A                   Em
OHHHHHHH       You get in, you get done and then you get gone
            Bm                A                      Em
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
              Bm   	     A			     G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
		    A
But the sun came up again

(VERSE)
               Em                    G
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning
                      Bm                      A
the curtains and the wine in a little white room
           Em               G
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
                        Bm
She's sleeping like a child
             A
What could I do

(PRE-CHORUS)
Em              Bm               A                   Em
OHHHHHHH       You get in, you get done and then you get gone
            Bm                A                      Em
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
              Bm   	     A			     G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
		    A
But the sun came up again

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

(BRIDGE)
D              G    
Suddenly I'm in over my head 
   Bm                    A
and I can hardly breathe
D                    G  
Suddenly I'm floating over 
           Bm         A
her bed and I feel everything
D              G    
Suddenly I know exactly what I did,
Bm                          A
 but I can not move a thing
D		    G
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done
Bm			       A
And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
      Em
I'm gone


(SOLO)
Em  Bm  A
Em  Bm  A
Em  Bm  A  G  A


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