Bbm
You've got your stripped-back soundtrack,
                      Ab
Banging on the bedroom wall
           Eb
And if the wolf-pack falls back
                         Bbm
Dodging every chance of a brawl
Db        Bbm
A violent cocktail, exhale
                         Ab
Using every trick in the book
         Eb
A little telltale blackmail
                              Bb
Missing with the jabs and the hooks


[Chorus]
          Gb                       Bbm
And if you came back to settle the score
                Ab
What's a boy to do
Ab
What's a boy to do
           Gb                  Bbm
And as the vultures circle the corpse
                  Ab
Well it's nothing new
Ab
It's nothing new


[Verse 2]
               Bbm
So where's the backbone de-throne
                          Ab
Everyone that gets in the way
         Eb
A little homegrown cyclone
                       Bbm
Blowing all the rivals away
Db          Bbm
Somewhere inside your mind
                                 Ab
You're taking every chance to progress
             Eb
You'll never fall behind
                                   Bb
Just blocking all the shots to the chest


[Chorus]
           Gb                      Bbm
But if you came back to settle the score
                Ab
What's a boy to do
Ab
What's a boy to do
           Gb                  Bbm
And as the vultures circle the corpse
                  Ab
Well it's nothing new
Ab
It's nothing new


[Interlude]
Gb Bbm Ab  x2 (quietly)
Gb Bbm Ab  x2 (full volume)


[Chorus]
           Gb                      Bbm
But if you came back to settle the score
                Ab
What's a boy to do
Ab
What's a boy to do
           Gb                  Bbm
And as the vultures circle the corpse
                  Ab
Well it's nothing new
Ab
It's nothing new


[Outro]

Gb    Bbm              Ab
Stand tall and give it all you've got
                                       Gb
Do the vultures keep you in a state of war
      Bbm              Ab
Stand tall and give it all you've got
                                       Gb
Do the vultures keep you in a state of war
