John Mayer
Assassin
Battle Studies
(VERSE)
Em G
I work in the dead of night, when the roads are quiet,
Bm A
And no one is around to track my moves
Em 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)
Em Bm A Em
OHHHHHHH You get in, you get done and then you get gone
Bm A Em
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Bm A G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
A
But the sun came up again
(VERSE)
Em G
Enter the morning light to find the day is burning
Bm A
the curtains and the wine in a little white room
Em 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)
Em Bm A Em
OHHHHHHH You get in, you get done and then you get gone
Bm A Em
You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone
Bm A G
Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again
A
But the sun came up again
(CHORUS)
Bm D G Em
I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen
Bm D G Em
I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
Bm D G Em
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Bm D G Em
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
(BRIDGE)
D G
Suddenly I'm in over my head
Bm A
and I can hardly breathe
D G
Suddenly I'm floating over
Bm A
her bed and I feel everything
D G
Suddenly I know exactly what I did,
Bm A
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
Em
I'm gone
(SOLO)
