I found that there weren't a lot of versions of this song posted and none of
the ones i looked at were too great... [but the chord progression and capo
info helped me figure this out quickly :)]...this one probably isn't too
great either- but i like playing my version-- it has the piano riffs in the
chorus instead of chords...
C F G Am
0 1 3 0
1 1 3 1
0 2 0 2
2 3 0 2
3 2 x
x 3 x
(you don't need to play low E(1) and A (3) on F, but you can, just complicates it a little...)
standard tuning,
capo 4th.

(Strum last Am in Chorus)
When it gets to the "Shake it section: just play the chords in same order- strum
as is appropriate.
Verse One
C F F G Am Am
My baby don't mess around because she loves me so, and this I know for sho.
But does she
really wanna but can't
stand to see me walk
out the door?
Don't try to
fight the feelin'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.
Verse 2
You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at all
We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, Then what makes, Then what makes
Then what makes, Then what makes love the exception
So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here.
Chorus:
C F (piano riff)
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
(repeat)
