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
A ( add9 )
i just step on through .
pre – chorus :
Gsus/B Bm ( add9 ) A ( add9 )
o whoa whoa whoa whoa . . . o whoa whoa whoa whoa
Gsus/B Bm ( add9 ) A ( add9 ) Gsus/B
you get in , you get done , and then you get gone
Bm ( add9 ) A ( add9 ) Gsus/B
you never leave a trace or show your face you get gone
Bm ( add9 ) A ( add9 ) G ( add9 )
you should have turned around and left before the sun came up again
A ( add9 )
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 . . .
