Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
It's [G]been one week
since you looked [C]at me
[G]Cocked your head to the side
and said, "I'm angry"
[G]Five days since you laughed at [C]me
Saying, [G]"Get that together,
come back and see me"
[G]Three days since the living[C] room
I [G]realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
[G]Yesterday, you'd forgiv[C]en me
But it'll [G]still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry

[Verse 1]
[G]Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
[G]I summon fish to the dish,
although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's
never touched a frying pan
[G]Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes,
because I'm all about value
[G]Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits,
you try to hold me but I bust through
[G]Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinking aching shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavors
[G]Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
'Cause it's so dangerous,

[Pre-chorus 1]
you'll have to sign a waiver
[Em]How can I help it
[D]if I think you're funny when you're mad?
[Bm]Trying hard not [C]to smile, though I feel bad
[Em]I'm the kind of guy [D]who laughs at a funeral
[Bm]Can't understand [C]what I mean?
Well, you soon will
[Em]I have a tendency[D]
to wear my mind on my sleeve
[Bm]I have a history o[C]f taking off my shirt

[Chorus 2]
It's [G]been one week
since you looked [C]at me
[G]Threw your arms in the air
and said, "You're crazy"
[G]Five days since you tackled[C] me
I've [G]still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's [G]been three days since the [C]afternoon
You [G]realized it's not my fault
not a moment too soon
[G]Yesterday, you'd forgiv[C]en me
And now I [G]sit back and wait 'til you

[Interlude 1]
say you're sorry
[G][G][G][G]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Chickity China, the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick
and your brain stops tickin'
[G]Watching X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like [G]Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic
Like Sting, I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
[G]Like Kurosawa, I make mad films,
'kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
[G]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
[G]Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause that cartoon has got the
boom anime babes

[Pre-chorus 2]
That make me think the wrong thing
[Em]How can I help it
[D]if I think you're funny when you're mad?
[Bm]Trying hard not [C]to smile, though I feel bad
[Em]I'm the kind of guy [D]who laughs at a funeral
[Bm]Can't understand [C]what I mean?
Well, you soon will
[Em]I have a tendency[D]
to wear my mind on my sleeve
[Bm]I have a history o[C]f losing my shirt

[Chorus 3]
It's [G]been one week
since you looked [C]at me
[G]Dropped your arms to the sides
and said, "I'm sorry"
[G]Five days since I laughed at [C]you and said
[G]"You just did just what I
thought you were gonna do"
[G]Three days since the living[C] room
We [G]realized we're both to blame
but what could we do?
[G]Yesterday, you just smiled [C]at me
'Cause it'll [G]still be two days

[Outro 1]
'til we say we're sorry
[G]It'll still be two days 'til we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days 'til we say, "Wasabi"
Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie
[G][G]
