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