Em
Far off in the distance
C               Am
A shape in the night, alright
Em
On a mission of mercy
C                Am
If the price is right, uh
Em
He tries to possess her
C        D
And she bites

Chorus:
Am              G/B
It's a ritual slaying
C                  Em
But the tables are turned, oh no
Am            G/B
And now he's praying
C/G       D
But it's his turn to burn
         Em
(Like a thief in the night)
                     C D Em C D
She breaks into his heart
         Em
(Like a thief in the night)
                      C D Em C
She never leaves her mark

In a hotel chamber
On a cryptic note
'Cause where there's fire
There's gotta be smoke, oh no
Footsteps in the twilight
And red nails 'round his throat

Chorus:
It's a ritual slaying
Without strings attached, oh no
And now he's praying
But there's no turning back
(Like a thief in the night)
She breaks into his heart
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
She never leaves her mark
(Like a thief in the night)
Alright, alright

(Like a thief in the night)
She breaks into his heart
(Like a thief in the night)
Alright, alright
(Like a thief in the night)
She never leaves her mark
(Like a thief in the night)

(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
(Like a thief in the night)
