Chorus 1:
A chordA
It's been one week
D chordD
since you looked at me
A chordA
Cocked your head to the
D chordD
side and said "I'm angry"
A chordA
Five days since you
D chordD
laughed at me saying
A chordA
"Get that together
D chordD
come back and see me"
A chordA
Three days since
D chordD
the living room
A chordA
I realized it's all my
D chordD
fault but couldn't tell you
A chordA D chordD
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A chordA
But it'll still be two
D chordD
days till I say I'm sorry


Verse 1:
A chordA(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 chordF#m E chordE
How can I help it if I think
you're funny when you're mad
C#m chordC#m
Tryin' hard not to
D chordD
smile though I feel bad
F#m chordF#m
I'm the kind of guy
E chordE
who laughs at a funeral
C#m chordC#m
Can't understand what I
D chordD
mean? Well you soon will
F#m chordF#m E chordE
I have a tendency to wear
my mind on my sleeve
C#m chordC#m
I have a history of
D chordD
taking off my shirt


Chorus 2:
A chordA
It's been one week since
D chordD
you looked at me
A chordA
Threw your arms in the air
D chordD
and said "You're crazy"
A chordA D chordD
Five days since you tackled me
A chordA
I've still got the rug
D chordD
burns on both my knees
A chordA
It's been three days
D chordD
since the afternoon
A chordA
You realized it's not my
D chordD
fault not a moment too soon
A chordA D chordD
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A chordA
And now I sit back and
D chordD
wait till you say you're sorry


Interlude: A-- x8


Verse 2:
A chordA(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 chordA
It's been one week since
D chordD
you looked at me
A chordA
Dropped your arms to your sides
D chordD
and said "I'm sorry" (hey)
A chordA
Five days since I
D chordD
laughed at you and said
A chordA
"You just did just what I
D chordD
thought you were gonna do"
A chordA D chordD
Three days since the living room
A chordA
We realized we're both to
D chordD
blame but what could we do?
A chordA D chordD
Yesterday you just smiled at me
A chordA
Cause it'll still be two
D chordD
days till we say we're sorry


Outro:
A chordA(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 chordA(hold)

About this song: One Week

"One Week" is a 1998 hit single by Barenaked Ladies. It is often regarded as the song that propelled the band to superstar status outside Canada. One reason for the song's popularity was the large number of pop culture references worked into the lyrics. It remains the band's biggest hit to date. The song gained renewed popularity when it was featured in an ad for the Mitsubishi Lancer, with groups of young people in the car seeming to sing along until they could not keep up with the rapid-fire lyrics. It was featured in the third installment of Big Shiny Tunes.
