_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [A] Yeah, [B] White Fella.
[E] _
I brought this Brian Ferry record [D] and I kind of like the [Fm] timing of [D] like the way [A] he sings
like that kind [N] _ _ of_
Like that kind of [E] slow sort of style.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [A] And [C#] I had this like [B] amplifier, this [E] like really cheap amplifier with a wah-wah pedal on it.
It was like wah [D]-wah-wah, [A] wah-wah [Gm]-wah, wah-wah-wah, like [D] really like [A] ridiculous sound and [E] I loved it.
One night I was hanging out with some [D] friends and [C#m] we had a few drinks and [D] we just had this
like dance off.
We all just [B] like found out [G#] that we like to dance and we were just drinking and doing
[D] all of our_
[A] doing [G#] moves.
And the next [G] day like I went [E] into the studio [G#] and I just wrote this song.
[D#m] [E] Dancing [F#m] feet, I [D] can't compete with your dancing_
[B] I just, yeah, [E] that was it.
It all worked.
It was good, you know, [B] good to [E] just kind of get out.
It wasn't too serious.
It was like a one-on-the [A]-shoulders kind of song.
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ [F#m] What happened was we [E] finished all the [A] touring and we'd done [E] like 300 shows [C#m] in two and a
half, three [B] years.
And I was like_
[C#m] I was [B] like fried.
[F#m] My head was just like [E] going around in circles [A] like just trying to work [E] out what just happened.
[C#m] And I stayed at home for like [B] three months.
I didn't go out, [E] didn't [F#] contact any [B] friends or socialize.
I actually [E] accidentally bumped into a friend from [F#m] uni who I hadn't seen in 10 [E] years and
we just started [C#m] drinking at this bar and [B] we_
And [C#m] people started asking for photos [B] at the bar and people [A] got us autographs and then
we get more [E] drunk and then the bar [B] says, you [F#m] get free drinks for life and yeah, all this [E] crazy stuff.
[B] And before you know [F#m] it, like, _ you know, I was talking [E] to all kinds of people [B] and at
the end of the night I end up like someone threatening [D] to stab me and_
[Am] And I get thrown out [E] of the club at [A] 2am and I wake up and [E] it's in the paper and [C#m] people
are saying [B] sources said this [C#m] and sources said that [B] and industry contacts [A] say this happened
and that [E] happened and I was like, oh my [A] god, this is like_
[E] Fuck, what have I [B] done, eh?
[C#m] What have I [B] done?
[C#m] Ruined my life in [B] like one [A] day.
And I just bought this fender rose off [E] this guy in Bar and [B] Bay and I put it in the car
[A] and I just started going_
I was like, I wanted to [E] prove myself, like I was saying, [B] don't you [A] ever_
I just wanted to [E] say, don't believe, don't [B] believe this shit.
The thing is, you get adulation, you [A] get [B] success and then you also [E] get people who want to see
you go down.
[B] [C#m] I guess in some ways this is my [G#] reaction to that.
[E] Reacting to negativity and people who wanted to see me [A] suffer, see me fall, [C#m] I guess.
[B] Yeah, [E] I did.
I did [B] struggle but I got a [C#m] song out of it.

The Cognac Egg has no relevance to the song.
When you write a song you need to [G] give it a title, [E] like it's just like a work in time
that like stuck, you know what I mean?
Nothing else [A] came through.
[Em] I felt like the album needed a full force of metal kind of swings and riffs that would
[E] like make thousands of people [Em] lose their shit _ [E] and [C] that was it.
That's what I was looking at each part of the day.
[B] _ [G] I just tried to [E] go there. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ I bought [Dm] a guitar in [A] Boise, [Em] [A] Arizona.
I went back to the hotel [G] and I started playing that verse and then I [F#m] held on to that and
we went to Christiansen [Dm] in Sweden and I kept playing that there and then I wrote the next
bit [A] and then I remember playing it to [G] one of the roadies back on the bus.
I was like, hey, where you hanging out?
[F#m] Well, you've got your descending [Em] A chord [F] and [D] your [F] ascending C [C] chord.
[G] I was like, what?
_ [A] What the?
[F] But [C] I just kept [G] going and going [C] with that song [B] and I kept writing it and [G] firing it.
[A] Took [Am] me forever.
[G] Took me two [D] years.
Took me two [A] years to write it.
