 C                    C/B 
  Coming out of my cage
                           F 
And I' ve been doing just fine

 C                        C/B 
  It started out with a kiss
                          F 
How did it end up like this?

 C                    C/B 
  Now I' m falling asleep
                      F 
And she' s calling a cab

 C                       C/B 
  Now they' re going to bed
                    F 
And my stomach is sick

  Am 
Сhest now
                    G 
He takes off her dress now
        F 
Let me go
 Am 
  I just can' t look
       G 
It' s killing me
      F 
And taking control

 C 
Jealousy
 F                Am 
Turning saints into the sea
 G                       C 
Swimming through sick lullabies
 F                Am 
Choking on your alibis
 G                   C 
But it' s just the price I pay
 F           Am 
Destiny is calling me
 G           C      F7M 
Open up my eager eyes
 Am                   G 
   &lsquo Cause I' m Mr. Brightside
