Tuning: Standard
Notes: The other chord tab is *almost* correct, but needed some adjustments
in the chorus.
Verse:
Bm G
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet,
Bm A
And no one is around to track my moves
Bm G
Racing the yellow lights to find the gate is open,
Bm A
She's waiting in the room. I just step on through
Pre-Chorus:
Bm G Bm
You get in, you get done and then you get gone
G Bm
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
G Bm
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
A
But the sun came up again
Verse :
Bm G
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning
Bm A
the curtains and the wine in a little white room
Bm G
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
Bm
She's sleeping like a child
A
What could I do
(Pre-Chorus)
Bm G E A
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm G E A
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm G E A
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm G E A
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 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
I'm gone (Solo in Bm)
(Chorus)
Vamp to fade: Bm-G-E-A
