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

Coming out of my cage
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
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
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
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
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
Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
