Notes from uploader: There are actually 2 guitars, but I only used the 
second one in the CHORUS as it is really not needed!
This is from "Guitar World" April 2005!

All tabs for this song seem to have one or more
things wrong, so I decided to make one myself. Altough 
this is my first tab, I am a big fan of the killers and
have seen a lot of live videos of the band performing this
song, so I'm confident that it is 100% right. Enjoy!

Tuning: half step down (Eb AB Db Gb Bb eb)

Intro/Verse (play 5 times, because the first is without vocals):

eb:----------0---------------0---------------0--------------0--------|
Bb:-----------17--------------17--------------17-------------17------|
Gb:-----19------19-------19-----19-------19-----19------19-----19----|
Db:---16--16-------0---16--16------0---16--16-----16--16--16------0--| 
Ab:-17---------------16----------------------------------------------|
Eb:----------------------------------15-------------15---------------|

The open D string in the main riff above is used as a 
transition to make it sound more "fluid". It's hard to 
hear but it's there.

Pre-Chorus (starts on the "chest now" part:

eb:--------0---------------0---------------0----------------0-------|
Bb:----------5---------------5---------------5----------------5-----|
Gb:-----7------7--------7------7-------7-------7--------7-------7---|
Db:---0---0------0----0---0------0---0---0-------0----0---0-------0-|
Ab:--------------------------------0----------------0---------------|
Eb:-7---------------7-----------------------------------------------|

eb|-------0----------------0---------------0----------------0--------|
Bb|---------5----------------5---------------5----------------5------|
Gb|----7------7--------7-------7-------7-------7--------7-------7----|
Db|--0---0-------0---0---0-------0---0---0-------0----0---0-------0--|
Ab|------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-3--------------3---------------3----------------3----------------|

What's going on in the pre-chorus is basically 
just 3 chord shapes:(7x0750, x00750, 3x0750). You 
repeat the progression 2 times, playing the first 
two cords for 2 bars each and the third chord for 4 bars.

*NOTE:I highly recomend playing the 7x0750 chord 
with you second finger on the 6th string, third finger
on 3rd string and the first finger on the second 
string, that's the way dave keuning plays it and it 
makes it a lot easier to hold the chord.

Chorus:
Part 1(play 2 times):
eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb:--11--11--11--11----12--12--12--12---14--14--14--14---9---7---6---7----|
Db:----12--12--12--12----12--12--12--12---12--12--12--12---7---7---7---7--|
Ab:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Part 2 (play 2 times):

eb:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:-10----10----10---12----12----12---15----15----15--------------------|
Gb:---11----11----11---12----12----12---14----14----14--9---7---6---7---|
Db:-----12----12---------12----12---------12----12--------7---7---7---7-|
Ab:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Interlude 1(played after the first chorus): 
Same as Part 1 of the chorus. Play it twice(with no vocals)
and back to the verse:

*NOTE: Sometimes, live, Dave plays just the last 
chord of the interlude slightly different to make
it easier to go to the first chord of the verse 
again(wich is quite hard to get used to):

eb:--------------|
Bb:--------------|
Gb:-9---7---6----|    
Db:---7---7---7--|
Ab:--------------|
Eb:--------------|

Interlude 2( played twice after the second chorus):

eb:---------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:---------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb:-11--11--12--14--12--14--12--11--11--11--12--11---9--7--6--7---|
Db:---12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12---7--7--7--7-| 
Db:---------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab:---------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:---------------------------------------------------------------|

Ending (First 3 times are the same as the
part 1 of the chorus:

eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb:--11--11--11--11---12--12--12--12---14--14--14--14---9---7---6---7-----|
Db:----12--12--12--12---12--12--12--12---12--12--12--12---7---7---7---7---|x3
Ab:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

And then( the 4th time):

eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb:--11--11--11--11--12--12--12--12--14--14--14--14---9---7---6-----------|
Db:----12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12--12---7---7-------------|
Ab:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Notes from uploader: I hope I dindn't make this too disorganized to 
understand! haha. It's a fantastic tune composed with a lot of 
creative guitar parts. 
Live, Dave plays the ending with regular D G Bm A chords but the 
last time, instead of the A chord  hes plays:

eb:--------------|
Bb:--------------|
Gb:-9---7---6----|    
Db:---7---7------|
Ab:--------------|
Eb:--------------|

And I've been doin' just fine
                                A       D
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all


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

It was only a kiss
        A      D
It was only a kiss


D              D
 Now I'm fall asleep
                     G
And she's callin' a cab
                     G
While he's havin' a smoke
           A        D
And she's takin' a drag

D                      D
 Now they're goin' to bed 
                   G
And my stomach is sick
                    G
And it's all in my head
                        Em
But she's touching his chest now
                  A
He takes off her dress now
        G
Let me go!

                  Em
And I just can't look 
      A       G
It's killing me
 G      D
Takin' control


 D
Jelousy
 G               Em
Turnin' saints into the sea 
                      A  D
Turnin' through sick lullaby's 
                 G Em
Chokin' on your allibies
                   A       D
But it's just the price I pay
            G       Em
Destiny is callin' me 
            A D   G
Open up my eager eyes
                A D
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside!
