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)
[Intro/Verse 1]
this is repeated throughout the intro as well as verse 1, the chords are tabbed
below for those that wish to strum

[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
[Bridge]
Bm/A
chest
Asus4
Now, he takes off her dress
G/A
Now, let me go
Bm/A Asus4
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
G/A Bm/A
Choking on your alibis
Asus4 Dsus2
But it’s just the price I pay
G/A Bm/A
Destiny is calling me
Asus4 Dsus2 G/A
Open up my eager eyes
Bm/A Asus4
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Dmaj7sus2
I'm coming out of my cage

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

And she’s calling a cab
