------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSASSIN - John Mayer off "Battle Studies" (2009) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kevin Heiland (Kevy Absolution) Email: kevin.heiland@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Notes: The other chord tab is *almost* correct, but needed some adjustments in the chorus. 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: http://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 Am Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe D G Am 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) Vamp to fade: Bm-G-E-A
