Band: The Killers
Song: Mr Brightside
Tabber: James Simmons
Comments: Quite an old song now but i play this acoustically and it sounds
so good. I put a capo on fret 2 because it suits my voice but it can be played
without.
Chords:
eadgbe
Dsus2 (xx0230)
Dmaj7sus2 (x40230)
G/A (3x0230)
Bm/A (x20230)
Asus4 (x02230)
it doesnt take a genius to work out this song is based around the shape and sound
of Dsus2 as every chord is shaped around the (xx0230)

Verse 1
Dsus2 Dmaj7sus2
I'm coming out of my cage
G/A
And I?ve been doing just fine
G/A
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
Dsus2 Dmaj7sus2
It started out with a kiss
G/A
How did it end up like this
G/A
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Dsus2 Dmaj7sus2
Now I?m falling asleep
G/A
And she?s calling a cab
G/A
While he?s having a smoke
And she?s taking a drag
Dsus2 Dmaj7sus2
Now they?re going to bed
G/A
And my stomach is sick
G/A
And it?s all in my head
But she?s touching his

Now, he takes off her dress
G/A
Now, let me go

And I just can?t look its killing me
G/A
And taking control
Chorus 1
Dsus2 G/A Bm/A
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Asus4 Dsus2
Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it?s just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes
Bm/A Asus4
?Cause I?m Mr Brightside
