Verse:
 
         Bm (x24432@1)             GI (320003@1)work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet,
                       Bm (x24432@1)                        AAnd (x02220@1)no one is around to track my moves
                  Bm (x24432@1)                              G (320003@1)Racing the yellow lights to find the gate is open, 
                                Bm (x24432@1)                         AShe's (x02220@1)waiting in the room.  I just step on through

Bm (x24432@1)            G (320003@1)                                                 Bm (x24432@1)      You get in, you get done and then you get gone
                 G (320003@1)                                                            BmYou (x24432@1)never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
               G (320003@1) 						BmShould've (x24432@1)turned around and left before the sun came up again
		    ABut (x02220@1)the sun came up again

Verse :

               Bm (x24432@1)                               GEnter (320003@1)the morning light to find the day is burning
                                Bm (x24432@1)                      Athe (x02220@1)curtains and the wine in a little white room
                   Bm (x24432@1)                           GThough (320003@1)I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
                                 BmShe's (x24432@1)sleeping like a child
                 AWhat (x02220@1)could I do

Bm (x24432@1)        G (320003@1)E (022100@1)                AI'd (x02220@1)steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm gone (Solo in Bm)
