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 
                        Bbm
But she's touching his chest now 
                   Ab
He takes off her dress now 
        F#
Let me go 
Bbm 
And I just can't look 
      Ab
It's killing me 
      F#m
And taking control 

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