Start Jamming...
[C#] [G]
[A] [Em] I work in the dead [A] of night When the [G] roads are quiet and [C#] no [Bm] one's around
To track [A] my moves [Em] Racing the yellow lights
To find the [G] gate is open Just waiting in [Bm] the room
I just [A] slip off
You
[Em] [Bm] get in, you get [A] down, then, then you [Em] get [D] gone
You [Em] never [A] leave a trace to show your face, you [Em] get gone
[F#m] [Bm] Should've turned around [A] and left before the [G] sun came up again
The [Em] sun came [A] up again
[Bm] The sun came up [C#] [F#m] again
[Bm]
[F#m] [Bm]
Face [B] of [Em] the morning [D] light To [G] find the day is burning
Curtains in [Bm] the wine In [C#] a little [A] white room
[F#m] No, [Em] I'm not alone Her [G] head is heavy on me
She's sleeping like a [Bm] child [D] What could I [A] do?
[Bm] You get in, you get [A] down, then, then you get [Em] gone
[Bm] You never [A] leave a trace to show your face, you get [Em] gone
[Bm] Should've turned around [A] and left before the sun [G] came up again
[D] The sun came up [A] again
[Em] [D] I was a killer, was [G] the best [Em] they'd ever seen
[B] [D] I'd steal your heart before [G] you ever heard [E] a thing
[Bm] I'm an assassin and [G] I have a job [E] to [Bm] do
[Em] Little did [D] I know that girl [G] was an assassin [E] too
[D] Suddenly [G] I'm in over my [Bm] head and I can hardly [A] breathe
[D] Suddenly I'm [G] floating over her bed [Bm] and I feel [A] everything
[D] Suddenly I know [G] exactly what I [Bm] did
[D] But I cannot move a [A] thing
[D]
Suddenly I [G] know exactly what I've [Bm] done
And [D] what it's gonna mean [A] to me, mean to me, mean to [F#m] me
I'm [D] floating [Bm] [A]
[Bm] [A]
[Em] [Bm] over her bed and [G] I feel [A] everything
I [Bm]
was a killer, was the [G] best they'd ever [Bm] seen
I'd steal your heart before [G] you ever heard a [Bm] thing
[D] I'm an assassin and [G] I have a job to [Em] do
[Bm] Little did I [D] know that [G] girl was an assassin [A] too
[Bm] She's an assassin
[G] [Bm] She's an assassin
[G] [Em]
[Bm] She's [D] an assassin
[G]
She's an assassin
She had a job to do
[Bm]
