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] Em Bm A Em Bm A Em Bm A G A [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
