in the chorus.
Verse:
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:
You get in, you get done and then you get 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
Verse :
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
(Pre-Chorus)
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 not 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 gone (Solo in Bm)
(Chorus)
Vamp to fade: Bm-G-E-A
