Assassin

               Em                
I work in the dead of night, when 
       G
the roads are quiet,
               Bm               
And no one is around to track my 
    A
moves
             Em                    
Racing the yellow lights to find 
   G
the gate is open,
                     Bm            
She's waiting in the room.  I just 
           A
step on through

[Pre-Chorus]
Em              Bm               
OHHHHHHH       You get in, you 
A                   Em
get done and then you get gone
            Bm                A
You never leave a trace, or show 
                      Em
your face, you get gone
              Bm             A 
Should've turned around and left 
                      G
before the sun came up again
                    A
But the sun came up again

[Verse]
               Em                  
Enter the morning light to find the
  G
 day is burning
                      Bm      
the curtains and the wine in a 
                A
little white room
           Em               G
Though I'm not alone, her head is 
heavy on me
                        Bm
She's sleeping like a child
             A
What could I do

Em              Bm               
OHHHHHHH       You get in, you 
A                   Em
get done and then you get gone
            Bm                A
You never leave a trace, or show 
                      Em
your face, you get gone
              Bm             A 
Should've turned around and left 
                      G
before the sun came up again
                    A
But the sun came up again

[Chorus]
Bm       D               G      
I was a killer, was the best 
           Em
they'd ever seen
Bm               D              
I'd steal your heart before you 
G              Em
ever heard a thing
Bm            D       G          
I'm an assassin and I had a job 
  Em
to do
Bm            D              G  
Little did I know that girl was 
             Em
an assassin too

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

[Solo]
Em  Bm  A
Em  Bm  A
Em  Bm  A  G  A

[Chorus]
Bm       D               G      
I was a killer, was the best 
           Em

Bm               D              
I'd steal your heart before you 
G              Em
ever heard a thing
Bm            D       G          
I'm an assassin and I had a job 
  Em
to do
Bm            D              G  
Little did I know that girl was 
             Em
