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