VERSE:
Gsus2/B
I work in the dead of night
Gsus2
When the roads are quiet
Bm(add9)
No one is around
A (add9)
To track my moves
Gsus2/B
Racing the yellow lights
Gsus2
To find the gate is open
Bm(add9)
Shes waiting in the room
Aadd9
i just step on through.
PRE-CHORUS:
Gsus4/B Bm(add9) Aadd9
O whoa whoa whoa whoa... O whoa whoa whoa whoa
Gsus4/B Bm(add9) Aadd9 Gsus4/B
You get in, You get done, and then you get gone
Bm(add9) Aadd9 Gsus4/B
You never leave a trace or show your face you get gone
Bm(add9) Aadd9 Gadd9
You should have turned around and left before the sun came up again
Aadd9
But the sun came up again
CHORUS:
Bm(add9) Gsus2/B Gsus2 C9/C7b9
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm(add9) Gsus2/B Gsus2 C9/C7b9
I'd steel your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm(add9) Gsus2/B Gsus2 C9/C7b9
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm(add9) Gsus2/B Gsus2 C9 G C9/C7b9
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too...
