Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine

In (x02220@1)a little white room

Chorus
Bm (x24432@1)                    G*               A*

 I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

Bm (x24432@1)               G (320003@1)                 Bm (x24432@1) And suddenly I know exactly what I've done,
                           Aand (x02220@1)what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me



Bm (x24432@1)              G (320003@1)               Bm (x24432@1)             AI'm (x02220@1)gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone...
