Riff 1
e|----------------| B|----------------| G|-------/7-5-4~--| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------|
It's been[G] one week since you looked at [Cadd9]me
G7/B Riff 1
Cocked your head to the side, and said "I'm angry"
[G] Five days since you laughed at me[Cadd9] saying
G7/B Riff 1
"Get that together come back and see me"
[G] Three days since the li[Cadd9]ving room
G7/B Riff 1
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
[G]Yesterday you'd forgi[Cadd9]ven me
G7/B Riff 1
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
G or
[G]Hold it now and [Cadd9]watch the hoodwink, as I make you [G]stop, think
You'[Cadd9]ll think you're looking at Aquaman
And continue on and on like this until the ¨How can I help it...¨ part.
I summon fish to the dish, although I like Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes, big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits, you try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake; I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know the vertigo is gonna grow
'Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver
G or
[G] How can I help it [D/F#]if I think you're funny when you're mad
[D/B] Tryin' hard [Cadd9]not to smile though I feel bad
[G] I'm the kind of [D/F#]guy who laughs at a funeral
[D/B] Can't understand [Cadd9]what I mean? Well, you soon will
[G] I have a tenden[D/F#]cy to wear my mind on my sleeve
[D/B] I have a histo[Cadd9]ry of taking off my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
During the instrumental break, both rhythm guitars just play G Cadd9.
Chickity China the Chinese chicken:
You have a drum stick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on, we're dans la maison (dans la maison...)
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic; Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa, I make mad films; Okay, I don't make films
But If I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs; gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gonna get in tune with Sailor Moon 'cause the cartoon has got
The boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind of my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said "I'm sorry" (hey)
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
Same thing as during rap verses.
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say wasabi
Birchmount stadium: Home of the Robbie
End on G.
