Biography:
Elle King is an anti-folk artist.
Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn by her mother (after separating from her father, comedian Rob Schneider), she retains her roots in a style that blends those two worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She often draws comparisons to Billie Holiday, Duffy, Regina Spektor and Adele. Miss King cites old blues, rock n' roll, and greats like Johnny Cash as her biggest influences.
Featured in an issue of Love magazine and February's V Magazine as well as creating buzz amongst music bloggers everywhere.

[Intro]
Em G Am Em
[Verse]
Em G Am C Em
You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young
G Am C Em
Now you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue
G Am C
And if you're proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill
Em G Am C B7
Well, I bet it stings to give up everything and realize that they don't want you
[Chorus]
Em G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Am Em
Where your misery finds its company
