Intro - Bm - G - Bm - A
Verse 1
I work in the[Bm] dead of night, when the [G]roads are quiet...
And no one is [Bm]around, to track [A]my moves
Racing the [Bm]yellow lights, to find the [G]gate is open...
She's waiting in the[Bm] room, I just step [A]on through
Pre-Chorus
[Bm]Woah, oah... You[G] get in, you get done and then you[Bm] gone
G
Bm
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Should've[G] turned around and left before the sun came[Bm] up again
But the sun came[A] up again
[Bm] [-] [G] [-] [Bm] [-] [A]
Verse 2
Bm G Bm
Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
In a[A] little white room
Th[Bm]ough I'm not alone, her [G]head is heavy on me, she's sleeping[Bm] like a child
What could[A] I do
Play Pre-Chorus Again
Chorus
Bm G* A*
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm G* A*
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm G* A*
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm G* A*
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
Bridge
[Bm]
Sudde[G]nly I'm in over [Bm]my head and I can[A] hardly breathe
Bm G Bm A
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
[Bm]
Suddenly[G] I know exactly[Bm] what I did, but I canā??[A]t move a thing
[Bm] And suddenly I kno[G]w exactly what I've [Bm]done,
and what it's gonna mean to[A] me, mean to me
I'm[Bm] gooooooooone, I'm[G] gooooooooone, I'm[Bm] gooooooooone...[A]
Play Chorus Again
Bm G* A*

She's an assassin and she had a job to do
