Biography:
Courtney Barnett is an Australian singer/songwriter originally from Sydney, New South Wales; later moving to Hobart, Tasmania[/placeform] where she began performing music in 2006 before relocating to Melbourne in 2010.
Barnett puts a lot of effort into sounding effortless. Her songs are wild and wooly and wordy, her lyrics plainspoken and delivered like she’s making them up on the spot.
Barnett was originally a part of several bands, including Immigrant Union and The Olivettes before focusing on her solo work.

[Verse 1]
Am C G
I was busy underwater
C G Am
Seeing how long I could hold my breath
Am C G
A drowning flower caught my eye and I
C G Am
Had to come on up for air
Am C G
Just because you're older than me
C G Am
Doesn't mean you have to be so condescending
Am C G
I still see the same things that you see
C G Am
I'm a little shady on my history
[Chorus]

Am C G
I noticed you stopped talking to me
C G Am
Now you're talking to me all the time
Am C G
Do you know you're no good at listening
C G Am
But you're really good at saying everything on your mind
Am C G
It must be tiring trying so hard
C G Am
To look like you're not really trying at all
Am C G
I guess if you're afraid of aiming too high
C G Am
Then you're not really gonna have too far to fall
[Chorus]
