Chords for Watch Elle King Get Surprised in a Tear-Jerking Interview (Exclusive)

[D] This time around, I had gone through a situation.
[G] It's funny, because you think that you have your heart [E] broken
until you really have your heart broken.
ET sat down [Gb] with Elle King
to talk about her new album, Shake the Spirit.
♪ [Dbm] Shake, shake, shake, [B] shake
♪ Every woman wants [Gb] to go home
And surprised her with a special guest interviewer,
her dad, Rob [A] Schneider.
Hi. _
_ _ _ How are you, gorgeous?
Hi, handsome daddy.
[Abm] I love you.
_ [Gbm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ Hey, that's my better side,
so we're gonna switch seats.
What?
No, I'm just kidding.
So I have some questions for you.
Do you feel with your second album now
that you finally put the character
of the Girl Scout cookie sales girl
in Deuce Bigalow behind you?
I feel like I'll never [Gbm] really quite get away from [Gm] that role.
Hi, would [Ab] you like to buy some Girls [Bb] of America cookies?
Your [F] first album, and now this is your second one.
What was the difference between like that one
and this one?
There's a [G] huge difference because [A] I feel like
I [N] gained a lot of notoriety.
I mean, I had a, you know, worldwide [G] hit.
♪ _ [D] And there are [E] holes in me
♪ [B] Lots of holes [G] in me
♪ To [D] make them all
[Ab] And I feel like I got enough like kind of cojones
to be like, well, [Bb] I gave you that.
I gave you X's and O's.
Let me make [Cm] the album how I want to make it.
And they said, okay.
[Fm] Let me ask you a [Ab] personal question.
You were able to [Bb] create during a real, [Eb] you know,
a _ [Cm] traumatic [Bb] and powerful time in your life.
And do you think there's a connection to that?
Do you think there's any accident [E] to it?
I mean, you [C] know, I used to live a little bit more
of a wild [Ab] lifestyle. _
_ And I feel like I just like created a lot
of really [Eb] bad cycles for myself
that just [Cm] kind of continued [Bb] throughout, you know,
my budding [Ab] adulthood, I guess.
But it was for creative chaos, [C] or was it just something
to live, feel deeply?
What was it?
I think I just lived [Fm] a really chaotic [Ab]
life.
Now I'm making music in a [Eb] sober state of mind.
I didn't make the album in a sober state of mind,
but you know, that [Cm] was still a very chaotic [Ab] time.
But I just don't want any [F] chaos in my life anymore.
♪ Yeah, don't need nobody, [Eb] _ _
don't need nobody ♪
[Bb] ♪ Cause I got a little bit of [Fm] everything around me ♪
I remember when you were first doing this,
one of my biggest, you know, fear was just,
[Gm] I [F] love Chris Farley.
We all loved him.
And _ he just was idolizing the wrong guy.
I mean, John Belushi was brilliant,
but like, you know, he was gone at 32, and so was Chris.
So I just was [Eb] hoping that you would idolize
the performing side of Janis Joplin.
I think a lot of musicians, _ you know,
whether it's like chaos in your life,
or drugs and alcohol, a lot of people think
that they can't make good music
or make good art without it.
You know, I'm your dad,
and you just said drugs and alcohol in front of me.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I know, but you know that I'm doing so good.
No, I'm proud of you.
I'm [Bm] beyond proud.
♪ Look at this good love [G] you wasted on [A] us ♪
♪ Another good [D] thing gone ♪
[F] I think that the new album is ridiculously creative
and open and searingly honest.
But at the same time, to be able to take that emotion
and focus it [Ab] into [C] an album,
in some ways, did that help lift you out of it?
Yeah, it kept me going.
Because I know how open you are on your Instagram.
Some of it's hard for me to watch _
[Db] as your [Ab] dad
loves you.
Do you feel exposed?
I know it's cringeworthy, and trust me, it makes- Not cringeworthy.
No, no, but it is, it is, it is.
And I understand that.
It's painful.
[G] But, yes.
It has its, it's emotional is what I wanna say.
But at the same time, I know that there are people
in the world that feel like I have felt
in my lowest, in my darkest, in my loneliest time.
And I have this platform,
and if I can talk about mental [N] health issues,
if I can talk about my depression,
if I can talk about things that I've gone through,
then maybe it will make one person hearing it
not feel alone.
And last year, when I was really just at, you know,
some of my lowest points,
I really had no one to turn to.
And for some reason, I was just like,
I'm just gonna talk about this.
And the outpour of support from people,
and telling me their experience,
I'm getting chills right now,
_ sharing their experiences with me,
_ of their trauma, or what they've gone through,
or their depression,
or just giving me words of encouragement,
kept me going.
Now that I'm doing so much better,
I feel like it's almost a responsibility [C] for me
to discuss these things.
[F] As a comedian, you've lost a lot of friends.
Me, growing up, hearing about your friends,
a lot of them committed suicide.
It's a big thing in comedy, you know?
And so I think it's [Bb] _ really important
for people to discuss these issues,
and take the icky away [C] from it,
so that people can have someone to talk to,
or have someone to turn to.
What do you go from here?
[F] I'm older now, I've learned things,
I've really gone through life, you know?
I hadn't really gone through life at 24, 25, you know?
You think you have, [Bb] but you really don't.
What's the first thing that comes to your mind,
what you hope people get when they listen to
your new album?
I want people to know that [C] it was a very broken,
and sad person who made this,
and [Bb] at the end of it, [Fm] there is a message [C] of love
that comes [F] through yourself.
[Bb] And that I'm [C] better from it.
It's okay to [D] feel broken.
[Bb] You can and will get better.
Yeah, that's great.
That's beautiful.
I don't know if I've ever been as honest
in [F] stuff I've ever done, as honest as you are.
And it's been an inspiration for me
to try to get more honest, you know?
But I'm never gonna open up myself as much as you do.
_ I've made that decision.
I love you.
I love you too, Dad.
This was [Abm] a nice surprise.
I'm proud of you, and I can't wait for the world
to embrace it, and love it like I do,
and like all your fans do.
And for you to take it around, and enjoy it,
and this healthier side that you've got too.
I'm really proud, and I just love you,
and I wish you the most success on your own terms,
for you, okay?
[Ebm] Thank you, Daddy.
I love you.
I love you. _
_ _ _ [Db] Okay, we should start recording this. _
