This is the way I play it with an acoustic. Sounds good too on an electric.

C# C#7/Madd11+
Coming out of my cage
F#
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
C# C#7/Madd11+
It started out with a kiss
F#
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
C# C#7/Madd11+
Now I'm falling asleep
F#
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
C# C#7/Madd11+
Now they're going to bed
F#
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
A#m
But she's touching his chest now
G#
He takes off her dress now
F#
Let me go
A#m
And I just can't look
G#
It's killing me
F#m
And taking control
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
C# F# A#m G# (x2)
