[Verse 1]
Dsus4/E Asus4/G
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet
Badd9 Aadd9
And no one is around, to track my moves
Dsus4/E Asus4/G
Racing the yellow lights, to find the gate is open
Badd9 Aadd9
She’s waiting in the room, I just step on through

[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus4/E Badd9 Aadd9 Dsus4/E
Woah, oah… You get in, you get done and then you gone
Badd9 Aadd9 Dsus4/E
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Badd9 Aadd9 Gadd9
Should’ve turned around and left before the sun came up again
Aadd9
But the sun came up again

[Instrumental Chorus]
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Daug

[Verse 2]
Em7 Asus4/G Badd9
Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
Aadd9
In a little white room
Em7 Asus4/G Badd9
Though I’m not alone, her head is heavy on me, she’s sleeping like a child
Aadd9
What could I do

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7 Badd9 Aadd9 Em7
Woah, oah… You get in, you get done and then you gone
Badd9 Aadd9 Em7
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Badd9 Aadd9 Gadd9
Should’ve turned around and left before the sun came up again
Aadd9
But the sun came up again

[Chorus]
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Daug

Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
I was a killer, was the best they’d ever seen
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
I’d steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
I’m an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

[Bridge]
D G Bm A
Suddenly I’m in over my head and I can hardly breathe
D G Bm A
Suddenly I’m floating over her bed and I feel everything
D G Bm A
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can’t move a thing
D G Bm
And suddenly I know exactly what I’ve done,
A
and what it’s gonna mean to me, mean to me

D G Bm A
I’m gooooooooone…

[Chorus]

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

I’d steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I’m an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em F#5 A5
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

[Outro]
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
She’s an assassin and
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
She’s an assassin and
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
She’s an assassin and
Bm D/F# Asus4/G Em7
She’s an assassin and she had a job to do
