Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

It's 8 O'clock and I'm feeling fine

I'm out on a date tonight

In a candle lit restaurant

Down by the riverside

Everythings going alright I guess

She took down my number and home address

Everything was going perfectly

Until

Chorus

It backfired at the disco

she slapped me at the disco

I did something I'll never forget

Verse 2

It was a chat up line built not to impress

More a sleezy remark on her whorish dress

My wires crossed like they'd never done before

Well it's 3 O'clock and I'm feeling shite

I'm going home alone tonight

Everything was going perfectly

Until

Chorus

It backfired at the disco

she slapped me at the disco

I did something I'll never forget

Yeah it backfired at the disco

she slapped me at the disco

I made a move when it was well out of context

Outro

It backfired at the disco

We were dancing at the disco

It backfired at the disco

We were dancing at the disco

Yeah it backfired at the disco

When she slapped me at the disco

It backfired at the disco

We were dancing at the disco
