[A] [D] [Em]
[A] [D] [Em]
I used to [G] be a killer, best killer [C] in the land
Killed [G] women [D] and children [G] just as easy [C] as a man
I [G] rolled and [D] mangled bodies and [G] launched them hauntly out [C] the door
But now [G] I've lost [D] my taste [G] for [E] killing and oh
[Em]
Made [G] me lots of money, was the best at my [C] job
And I never [G] had [D] a 9 to 5 [G] or cheat or steal [C] or rob
Just load [G] up my [Am] guns and [G] leave them all on the [C] floor
[G] But I ain't [Am] got the stomach [G] for [Em] killing anymore
[C]
[G] Something [Am] must be [Em] done, but I've done [C]
[G] all that I can [E] do
[C] God [Em] is an [Am] assassin who [G] just can't [C] follow through
[G] She [Am] [E]
[Em] took me in her [G] arms and no one else [C] could have me
She taught [G] me how [Am] to throw the blade [G] and never let one [C] man be
She taught [G] me how [Am] to shoot so straight [G] without a [C] moment's skill
She [G] was the most beautiful [Am] [G] thing [E] that I have ever killed
