Tom: D
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I'm coming out of my cage
Dsus4
And I've been doing just fine
D
Gotta gotta be down
Dsus4
Because I want it all
D
It started out with a kiss
Dsus4
How did it end up like this
D Dsus4
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
D
Now I'm falling asleep
Dsus4
And she's calling a cab
D
While he's having a smoke
Dsus4
And she's taking a drag
D
Now they're going to bed
Dsus4
And my stomach is sick
D
And it's all in my head
Dsus4 Bm
But she's touching his-chest
Bm A
Now, he takes off her dress
A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Now, letting me go
Bm A
And I just can't look its killing me
D Dm D Dm
And taking control
D Dsus4 Bm
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
A D
Swimming through sick lullabies
Dsus4 Bm
Choking on your alibis
A D
But it's just the price I pay
Dsus4 Bm
Destiny is calling me
A D Dsus4
Open up my eager eyes
Bm A
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
