Chorus 1:
It's been[A] one week
since you looked at [D]me
[A] Cocked your head to the
side and said "I'm [D]angry"
[A] Five days since you
laughed at [D]me saying
"[A]Get that together
come back and see [D]me"
[A] Three days since
the living [D]room
I [A]realized it's all my
fault but [D]couldn't tell you
[A]Yesterday you'd forgiven [D]me
But it'll s[A]till be two
days till I say I'm [D]sorry
Verse 1:
A(all the way)
Hold it now and watch the
hoodwink as I make you stop think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
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
Refrain:
[F#m] How can I help it if I [E]think
you're funny when you're mad
[C#m] Tryin' hard not to
s[D]mile though I feel bad
[F#m] I'm the kind of guy
who [E]laughs at a funeral
[C#m]Can't understand what I
[D]mean? Well you soon will
[F#m] I have a tendency to [E]wear
my mind on my sleeve
[C#m] I have a history of
[D]taking off my shirt
Chorus 2:
It's[A] been one week since
you looked at [D]me
[A] Threw your arms in the air
and said "You're [D]crazy"
[A] Five days since you tackled [D]me
[A] I've still got the rug
burns on both my [D]knees
[A] It's been three days
since the after[D]noon
You [A]realized it's not my
fault not a moment [D]too soon
[A]Yesterday you'd forgi[D]ven me
And now I [A]sit back and
wait till you say you're [D]sorry
Interlude: A-- x8
Verse 2:
A(all the way)
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
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 3:
It's[A] been one week since
you looked at [D]me
[A] Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm [D]sorry" (hey)
[A] Five days since I
laughed [D]at you and said
"[A]You just did just what I
thought you were [D]gonna do"
[A] Three days since the living [D]room
[A] We realized we're both to
blame but what could [D]we do?
[A] Yesterday you just smiled at [D]me
Cause it'll still [A]be two
days till we say we're [D]sorry
Outro:
A(all the way)
It'll still be two days
till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days
till we say wasabi
Birchmount stadium
A(hold)
