[Intro]
Bm G Bm A
[Verse 1]
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
Woah, oah... You get in, you get done and then you 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
Bm G Bm A
[Verse 2]
Bm G Bm
Enter the morning light, to find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
A
In a little white room
Bm G Bm
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me, she's sleeping like a child
A
What could I do
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G Bm
Woah, oah... You get in, you get done and then you 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
Bm G Bm A
[Chorus]
Bm G* A*
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm G* A*
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm G* A*
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm G* A*
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
[Bridge]
Bm G Bm A
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
Bm G Bm A
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
Bm G Bm A
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can’t move a thing
Bm G Bm
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done,
A
and what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
Bm G Bm A
I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone, I'm gooooooooone...
[Chorus]
Bm G* A*
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm G* A*
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm G* A*
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm G* A*
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
Bm G* A*
She's an assassin-n-n-n-n (3 times)
She's an assassin and she had a job to do

PLAYER NOTES:
I guess the tricky part in my acoustic version is the slapping and getting the timing
It takes a bit of practice.
Please note the accentuated slap (meaning a stronger/louder slap)... keeps the song flowing.

I work in the dead of night
When the roads are quiet
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 slip on through
You get in
You get done
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face
You get gone
Should have 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
No, I'm not alone
Her head is heavy on me
She's sleeping like a child
What could I do?
You get in
You get done
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face
You get gone
Should have turned around
And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up 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
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 cannot move a thing
Suddenly I know exactly what I'd done and what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
I'm gone
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
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin and she had a job to do

Now go back and start from intro and continue through to chorus. The chorus is not
think the tuning needs to be changed to 'dadgad' to for the chorus to sound right.

Bridge
I work in the dead of night
When the roads are quiet
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 slip on through
You get in
You get done
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face
You get gone
Should have 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
No, I'm not alone
Her head is heavy on me
She's sleeping like a child
What could I do?
You get in
You get done
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face
You get gone
Should have turned around
And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up 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
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 cannot move a thing
Suddenly I know exactly what I'd done and what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me
I'm gone
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
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin
She's an assassin and she had a job to do
