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

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

               Em                    G 
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning 
                      Bm                      A 
the curtains and the wine in 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               A                   Em 
OHHHHHHH       You get in, you get done and then you get gone 
            Bm                A                      Em 
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone 
              Bm             A                       G 
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again 
                    A 
But the sun came up again 

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

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
