Intro D D G G verse 1 D You are somebody that I don't know D But you're takin' shots at me like it's Patrón G G And I'm just like "Damn, it's 7 a.m." D Say it in the street, that's a knock-out D But you say it in a tweet, that's a cop-out G G And I'm just like "Hey, are you okay?" Pre Chorus 1 D D And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression but I've learned the lesson G That stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun A N.C. And snakes and stones never broke my bonesverse 2 D You are somebody that we don't know D But you're comin' at my friends like a missile G G Why are you mad, when you could be GLAAD? (You could be GLAAD) D Sunshine on the street at the parade D But you would rather be in the dark ages G G Makin' that sign, must've taken all night Pre Chorus 2 D D You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace G And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate A N.C. 'Cause shade never made anybody less gayD D So oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh G G You need to calm down, you're being too loud D D And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh G G You need to just stop, like can you just not step on my gown?
