I got in a fight, I was indisposed

But I'm only a man
G Em
And I do what I can
[Verse 2]
Bm D
I got friends in high places, I get out for free

I got in a fight but they don't know me
Bm D
Cause I'm only a man
G Em

Italiana mobster looking so fresh, uh
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."
