John Mayer - Assassin
(This is in the Key of - using the IV, V, vi chords)

- - - -
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet...
And no one is around, to track my moves
Racing the yellow lights, to find the gate is open...
She's waiting in the room, I just step on through
Pre-Chorus
Woah, oah... You get in, you get done and then you gone
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again
- - -
Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
In a little white room
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me, she's sleeping like a child
What could I do
Play Pre-Chorus Again
* *
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
* *
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
* *
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
* *
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
Bridge
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can't move a thing
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done,
and what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone...
Play Chorus Again
* *
She's an assassin-n-n-n-n (3 times)
She's an assassin and she had a job to do
