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.

[Intro]
G D Cmaj7 (x4)
[Verse 1]
G D Cmaj7
I'm down to three packs a day
Of Mi Goreng, I can't explain it
Can't wait for you to go away
Cause I just crave that meager taste, yeah
[Refrain]
F (Riff)
Boil it up, water in the sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
[Verse 2]
G D Cmaj7
That MSG tastes good to me
I disagree with all your warnings
It can't be true that they use glue to
Keep the noodles stuck together
[Refrain]
F (Riff)
Two minutes seems like a lifetime
Burn my tongue, patience is a virtue
[Verse 3]
G D Cmaj7
I'm down to three packs a day
I sneak away to find a kettle
I withdraw from all my friends
And their dinner plans, I'm sick of lentils
[Refrain]
F (Riff)
Boil it up, water in a sauce pan
In a cup, drink it from a silver spoon
[Outro]
C Am
It is no good
C D
It is no good
C D (Riff)
You say, "it's no good for you"
