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)

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.
