EADGBE

G/B (x20033)
I'm just gonna give you the chords for this song, none of the picking.
What you really need to do is listen to the song to get the timing
and rhythm correctly, it's kind of strange. These are easy chords but
you must remember to put a capo on the 2nd fret to play with the CD.
All the chords are relative to the capo, it's simpler that way.
CHORUS:
-------
G C9
It's been one week since you looked at me
G C9
Cocked your head to one side and said "I'm angry"
G C9
Five days since you laughed at me
G C9
saying "get that together, come back and see me"
G C9
Three days since the living room
G C9
I realised it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
G C9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
G C9
But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
For the verses, it's really just a G chord throughout.
But he only plays the two highest note, these two:
E|--3---| Just play those two notes over and over and listen to
B|--3---| the song to get the rhythm correctly.
G|------|
D|------|
A|------|
E|------|
VERSE 1:
--------
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 the Chalet Suisse
And 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
BRIDGE:
-------
Em7 Dsus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
G/B C9
Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad
Em7 Dsus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
G/B C9
Can't understand what I mean? Well you soon will
Em7 Dsus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
G/B C9
I have a history of takin off my shirt
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realised it's not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry
[just play a G chord until Verse 2 starts]
VERSE 2: [play like Verse 1]
--------
Chickety china, the Chinese chicken
Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on,
We're 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 a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
just so my irons aren't always flying off the backswing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing.
BRIDGE: [play like first Bridge]
-------
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean? You soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt
CHORUS: [play like first Chorus]
-------
It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realised we're both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
OUTRO:
------
G
Still be two days till we say we're sorry
G
Still be two days till we say we're sorry
