Verse:
 
         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
       You get in, you get done and then you get 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

Verse :
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_mayer/assassin_crd_ver_2.html ]
               Bm                                 G
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning
                                Bm                        A
the curtains and the wine in a little white room
                   Bm                             G
Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me
                                 Bm
She's sleeping like a child
                 A
What could I do

(Pre-Chorus)

Bm       G                    E                        A
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm	         G		E                  A
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm            G             E                  A
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm            G                           E                A
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Bridge:

D                        G                            Bm                      A
Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe
D                                  G                       Bm                      A
Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything
D                           G                          Bm                            A
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing
D			G
And suddenly I know exactly what I've done
Bm				     A
And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me

I'm gone (Solo in Bm)

(Chorus)
