Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C D C D C D C
[Verse 1: 2D]
C D C D
I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
C D C D
With a cap in his head and a knot in his tie
C D C D
I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone
C D C D
The shadow in the corner, just playing along
C D C D
I'm only laying in my bed, I'm rolling aside
C D C D
But if I get a car, I'm hoping to ride
D G
Because I know if I ever say "I'm leaving" to you
C D
You've gotta volunteer, and you don't know what to do
You're soft
[Chorus: James Murphy]
D G C
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you're doin', baby (A-a-a-a-aha)
D G C
You wanna feel it but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Alright, how are we doin'?)
D G C
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby (A-a-a-a-aha)
D G C
You do more thinking and I'll go out and make it alright (Alright, how do you do?)
[Verse 2: 2D]
C D C D
I’m impregnable, incredible, the setting of quo
C D C D
I’m at Lay Chimirida, not a heart and soul
C D C D
I got a Saturday night, and nothing is dead
C D C D
And if I ever had to do it, well, you know I wouldn’t care
C D C D
I just kicked down, I love when I’m seen
C D C D
Yeah, and if I wanna talk back, the message is free
D G
Then there’s a fire, a ray, a knot in sight
C D
And if you get popped here, you get ‘em a lot
D
You get a heart, break
[Chorus: James Murphy]
G C
You wanna do it, but you don't know what you're doin', baby (A-a-a-a-aha)
D G C
You wanna feel it but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Alright, how are we doin'?)
D G C
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby (A-a-a-a-aha)
D G C
You do more thinking and I'll go out and make it alright (Alright, how do you do?)
[Post-Chorus: André 3000]
D G7
Every time we try, we get nowhere
G# F# D
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
G7
Trying so hard to act like we don't care
G# F#
But it's true, you do, nothing is left
So I guess I'm right
[Verse 3 : André 3000]
N.C. C
New word, onomatopoeia (Boom)
D
Quit actin' like you don't wanna be here
D D
Mess around and get jumped like leap year
C D C
Glock in the glove make you really wanna leave me, alone
D
Get the heck on, gone
C D
Okay, okay, okay, back to the happy song
C D
Rap ain't nothing but the art of talkin' this
C D
My girl look pretty up there riding me
C D
My plaid past, my solid future
C D
Asinine ass and a gorgeous coochie
C D
I'm an OutKast but you're into me
C D
Summer got mad cause the winter blew me
C D
That Juicy Fruit, that splooshy sploosh
C D
Generation X on bloopty bloop
C D
Get duked, gotta get duked, the duke
C D
Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof
C D
Like a chimney, I commend me
C D C
How come it be, some lame ass nigga talking about
D
"Ah, he don't rap enough"
C D
But y'all rap a lot and I'm like "Wrap it up, yo"
C D
You ain't Scarface, you ain't Willie D
C D
You ain't Bushwick, you ain't killin' me
C D
Better play that with your momma
C D
Bet you still stay with your momma
C D
Keep sleeping on me, I'ma rock my pajamas
C D
In the daytime, I swear, I promise
C D
Dare a nigga say something, tear a nigga face off
C D
How come Blacks don't play baseball?
C D C
Y'all white, know y'all can taste all this
D
Fly this, I stay finna take off
[Refrain: André 3000]
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
You ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga, you that Tang
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Wait, is you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane
[Verse 4: André 3000]
C D
Bet it up, head erupts
C D
A lava language in a vocal volcanic
C D
If it ain't fixed, don't broke it, don't panic
C D
If it ain't this, it ain't this, goddamn it
C D
If it ain't this, it ain't dope, it don't flush
C D
And if it ain't hip, it don't hop, well then hush
C D
Man, they sound like, man, they stole your
C
Man, they look like—nope, it ain't us
[Refrain: André 3000]
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Wait, is you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
Do Ya damn Thing, Do Ya Thing-a-Thing
C D
You ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga, you that Tang
[Post-Chorus: André 3000]

Every time we try, we get nowhere
G# F# D
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah
G7
Trying so hard to act like we don't care (I don't care)
G# F#
But it's true, you do, nothing is left

So I guess I'm right
[Outro: André 3000]
G7
Flip the page, our days are revelatious
G# F#
Space is strange, doctor, I've got no patience
D G7
Oh, it's all a part of the process (Okay, okay)
G# F#
Nothing's new, it's true, cool, I admit
N.C.
shh, I guess you're right
[2D:]
I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
With a cap in his head and a knot in his tie
I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone
The shadow in the corner, just playing along
I'm only laying in my bed, I'm rolling aside
But if I get a car, a moment to ride
Because I know if I ever shared a living of you
You've gotta volunteer, and you don't know what to do
[James Murphy:]
You will not do it, but you don't know what you're doin', baby (A-a-a-a-aha)
You will not feel it but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Alright, how are we doin'?)
And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby (A-a-a-a-aha)

[André 3000:]
New word, onomatopoeia (Boom)
Quit actin' like you don't wanna be here
Fuck around and get jumped like leap year
Glock and a glove make you really wanna leave me alone
Get the fuck on, gone
Okay, okay, okay, back to the happy song
Rap ain't nothing but the art of talkin' shit
My girl look pretty up there riding dick
My plaid past, my solid future
Asinine ass and a gorgeous coochie
I'm an OutKast but you're into me
Summer got mad 'cause the winter blew me
That Juicy Fruit, that splooshy sploosh
Generation X on bloopty bloop

Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof
Like a chimney, I commend me
How come it be, some lame ass nigga talking about
"Ah, he don't rap enough"
But y'all rap a lot and I'm like "Wrap it up, hoe"
You ain't Scarface, you ain't Willie D
You ain't Bushwick, you ain't killin' me
Better play with your motherfuckin' momma
Bet you still stay with your motherfuckin' momma
Keep sleeping on me, I'mma rock my pajamas
In the daytime, I swear, I promise
Dare a nigga say something, tear a nigga face off
How come Blacks don't play baseball?
Y'all white, know y'all can taste all this
