Mr Brightside Acousticv3

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.

Dsus2 (xx0230)

Dmaj7sus2 (x40230)

G/A (3x0230)

Bm/A (x20230)

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

I'm coming out of my cage

And I’ve been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep

And she’s calling a cab

While he’s having a smoke

And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his

Bridge

chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me

And taking control

Chorus 1

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

Verse 2

I'm coming out of my cage

And I’ve been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I’m falling asleep

And she’s calling a cab

While he’s having a smoke

And she’s taking a drag

Now they’re going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it’s all in my head

But she’s touching his

Bridge

chest

Now, he takes off her dress

Now, let me go

And I just can’t look its killing me

And taking control

Chorus 2

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

Outro - this is optional but in my opinion its a good way to end it
