/ Obadiah Parker / I think this song is a song about how hard it
/ Hey Ya (Outkast cover) / can be in a relationship and how hard it can be
/________________________/ to stick together sometimes - beautiful lyrics!
Check out my guitar pro-version of the song - just follow the link:

The song is played with capo on the 4th fret, so here are the chords first
with capo, then without capo:
(the names of the chords with capo are of course wrong, as C becomes an E
if you play a capo on the 4th fret, but it would have been C without capo)

*The notes in the brackets (the G's on the high e-string) are held throughout
the entire song, but not always strum, but you can strum them anytime though.
*The 2nd acoustic guitar in the background improvises some radnom fills.
Lyrics:
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out the door
I can't stand to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank god for mom and dad for sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But God just don't get it till' there's nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separates always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say that "nothing is forever"
Then what makes
What makes love the exception?
So why are, why are, why are, why are
Why are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Alright now fellas
Yeah oh, cooler than being cool?
I can't hear you now, now, now
I say what's cooler than being cool?
Alright
What now ladies
Yeah, we're gonna bring it down in just a few seconds here
Now don't make me break this down for nothing
I wanna see you all on your all's baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor
Shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid Picture
Oh now, shake it
Shake it up
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
