[Verse 1]
 
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]
 
Bm                            D
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
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bm      D
B-E-H-A-V-E, arrest us
G                Em
Italiana mobster looking so precious
Bm      D
B-E-H-A-V-E, never more
G                               Em
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm                  D
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
G                   Em
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
Bm                   D
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
G                                    Em
(Are you goin' to the party? Are you goin' to the show?)
Bm7                   D              G        Em
Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
Bm7                   D
Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
G                                     Em
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Bm                   D
I did something bad, maybe I was wrong
G                               Em
Sometimes people say that I'm a big time bomb
Bm             D
But I'm only a man
G                  Em
And I do what I can
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Bm      D
B-E-H-A-V-E, arrest us
G                Em
Italiana mobster looking so precious
Bm      D
B-E-H-A-V-E, never more
G                               Em
You gave up being good when you declared a state of war
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm                  D
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
G                   Em
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
Bm                   D
Eh, I don't behave, I don't behave, oh
G                                    Em
(Are you goin' to the party? Are you goin' to the show?)
Bm7                   D              G        Em
Cause I'm only a man, do what I can, ooh-woah-oh
Bm7                   D
Cause I'm only a man, do what I can
G                                     Em
(You're goin' to the party and you're goin' to the show)

B (major!!)   D    G
Oh, woah-oh-woo
Em                 B
The fire hurts so right
      D                         G
Cause we can make 'em all a bit crazy
Em
We can make 'em alright
B   D    G
Oh, woah-oh-woo
Em                B
The fire hurts so right

The people touch it

I can't touch, even though it's mine

G                                    Em
(Are you goin' to the party? Are you goin' to the show?)
Bm7                   D              G        Em

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."
