This song is from the album Hot Fuss(2004), released on 12 May 2004.
I loved this song. The production was awesome and the vocals were excellent. The rhythm had the right amount of power and energy that kept the song going. Even though I expected a hot guitar lead, that didn’t happen. Still, the songs sounded great. Now that’s what I call music.

[INTRO] C# C#maj7 F#
[VERSE]
C#                  C#maj7
I'm coming out of my cage
                        F#
And I've been doing just fine
F#
Gotta gotta be down
F#
Because I want it all
C#
It started out with a kiss
C#maj7                     F#
How did it end up like this?
F#
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss

C#
Now I'm falling asleep
C#maj7             F#
And she's calling a cab
F#
While he's having a smoke
F#
And she's taking a drag
C#
Now they're going to bed
 C#maj7
And my stomach is sick
F#
And it's all in my head
F#                      Bbm
But she's touching his chest
 Bbm                    Ab
Now, he takes off her dress
Ab             F#
Now, letting me go

[CHORUS]
Bbm                           Ab
And I just can't look - it's killing me
      F#
And taking control
C#         F#             Bbm
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Ab                    C#
Turning 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

[INSTRUMENTAL] C# F# Bbm Ab x2
