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