[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 bones
[Chorus]
   D                           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?
                 D    D
You need to calm down
[Verse 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 gay
[Chorus]
   D                           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 his gown?
                 D
You need to calm down
[Bridge]
And we see you over there on the internet
D
  Comparing all the girls who are killin' it
G                                     G
  But we figured you out, we all know now
           N.C.
We all got crowns, you need to calm down
[Chorus]
N.C.
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
                 G
You need to calm down (You need to calm down)
                 G
You're being too loud (You're being too loud)
                  D                           D
And I'm just like oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
                  G
You need to just stop (Can you stop?)
                  G
Like can you just not step on our gowns?
                 D
You need to calm down
