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

[Verse 1]
            
Coming out of 

    
my cage 
              
And I've been 

            
doin' just fin

e 

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 fallin

    
g asleep 
              
And she's call

      
ing a cab 

While he's having a smoke 

And she's taking a drag 
            
Now they're go

    
ing to bed 
              
And my stomach

    
 is sick 
And it's all in my head 

[Pre-Chorus]
              
But she's touc

          
hing his chest

 now 
              
He takes off h

     
er dress now 
        
Let me go 
 
And I just can

't look 
      
It's killing m

e 
      
And taking con

trol 

[Chorus]

Jealousy 
            
Turning saints

   
 into the sea 
            
Swimming throu

            
gh sick lullab

ies 
            
Choking on you

     
r alibis 
            
But it's just 

       
the price I pa

y 
            
Destiny is cal

 
ling me 
          
Open up my eag

    
er eyes 
           
Cause I'm Mr.
