D A
Coming out of my cage
G
And I've been doin' just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

D A
It started out with a kiss
G
How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss

D A
Now I'm falling asleep
G
And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Page 1 of 5
Now they're going to bed
G
And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

Bm
But she's touching his chest now
A
He takes off her dress now
G
Let me go

Bm
And I just can't look
A
It's killing me
G
And taking control

Chorus:
D
Jealousy
G Bm
Turning saints into the sea
A D
Swimming through sick lullabies
G Bm
Choking on your alibis
A D
But it's just the price I pay
G Bm
Destiny is calling me
