G C G

[Verse]
 G      C                    G
You shut me down, you like the control
    G      C               G
You speak to me like I'm a child
G            C               Em      D
Try to hold it down, I know the answer
                         G       C             G
I can't shake it off and you feel threatened by me

[Chorus]
G
I tried to play it nice but
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D        C
Don't break my stride
   
    G                       Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
D                          C
  But I wanted you to know  that you don't belong here
    G                         Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe

[Verse]
    G               C                  G
You love to tear me down, you pick me apart
     G                C           G
Then build me up like I depend on you
     G                  C                    Em       D
But I throw myself from heights that used to scare me
                               G      C                G
Guess you're surprised I'm the puzzle you can't figure out

[Chorus]
G
I tried to play it nice but
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D        C
Don't break my stride
(I tried to play it nice but)

    G                         Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
D                          C
  But I wanted you to know  that you don't belong here
    G                         Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe

[Bridge]
        C                            G                    Em    D
Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
        C                            G                    Em
Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
D
  And oh-oh-oh-oh
       C                    G                             Em
You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening
    D
Hey, no-ooh-ooh-ooh
       C                    G
You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening
Em
  Don't kill
D
  Don't kill my vibe

[Chorus]
    G                         Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
D                          C   
  But I wanted you to know   that you don't belong here
   G                          Em                D    C
You think you're so important to me, don't you?

I tried to play it nice but
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe
G     Em
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
      D        C
Don't break my stride
(I tried to play it nice but)

    G                         Em
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
D                          C
  But I wanted you to know  that you don't belong here
    G                         Em        
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
      D       C
Don't kill my vibe
