Bm D
I got in a fight, I was indisposed
G Em
I was in despite all the wicked prose
Bm D
But I'm only a man
G Em
And I do what I can
[Verse 2]

I got friends in high places, I get out for free
G Em
I got in a fight but they don't know me
Bm D
Cause I'm only a man
G Em
And I do what I can

Bm D
B-E-H-A-V-E never more
G Em
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
--------------------------------------------------------
The Bm7 in the chorus is just a preference -- regular Bm is fine. Also watch for the B
Major in the bridge.
I would be remiss to not point out that Grimes has said this song is "written from the
perspective of Al Pacino in The Godfather Pt 2. Except he’s a vampire who can switch
gender and travel through space."

great tab, i find it easiest to play transposed down 2 and capo on 2, but that's just because my weak ass fingers can't do bar chords :/
also i love the context for the song- michael corleone as a vampire who switches gender and travels through space, grimes what is going on in that head
