C#                  C  
Coming out of my cage
                          F#
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
C#                      C  
It started out with a kiss
                        F#
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his

 A#m
Chest now
                   G#
He takes off her dress now
       F#
Let me go
A#m
I just can't look
     G#
It's killing me
     F#
And taking control

Chorus:
C#
Jealousy
F#               A#m
Turning saints into the sea
G#                    C#
Swimming through sick lullabies
 F#             A#m
Choking on your alibis
G#                 C#
But it's just the price I pay
F#          A#m
Destiny is calling me
G#         C#    F#
Open up my eager eyes
A#m              G#
‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking the drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his

Chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Chorus

   C#  F# A#m G#
I never
   C#  F# A#m G#
I never
   C#  F# A#m G#
I never
   C#  F# A#m G#
I never
