[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
A                        D
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#m                       E
   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#m                     E
   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"
A                             D
  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
A                    D
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"
A                             D
  Three days since the living room
A
  We realized we're both to 
                     D
blame but what could we do?
A                              D
  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)
