[Intro] [NANCY, spoken] N.C Why are you so fucking scared to show me, to show anyone, N.C who you are when you’re not putting on a fucking show? [OLIVER, spoken] [Verse]
Fm
Oh Nancy, darling, baby

         Db
Ain't it obvious?

                    Eb
I mean, you already said it, kid

                        Fm      Db C
It's because I'm like a disco ball
[OLIVER]
     Fm
Yeah I'm a disco ball

                                Db
I spin and give you all a party feeling

     Eb                                             Fm       Db  C
I'm sparkly and I'm fun and crucially I'm hung from the ceiling

       Fm
You're far away from me

                                        Db
If you weren't, well it would be such a pity

           Eb
Cause when people get too close

                                       Fm     Db  C
Oops, baby heaven knows, well it ain't pretty

     Fm
So I never let 'em get too close
Never let 'em stay too long
        Bbm
They'll see me in the light

                    Db
(The cold, harsh light)

   Eb
I gotta keep it all going

                                     Cm    C
I gotta keep 'em from knowing what's inside
[Chorus]
     Fm
So I spin and I spin and I spin

                         Db
Dazzling like I'm like a disco ball

      Eb
And I stay far away, up above, and you love it

      Cm         Db C
I'm a disco ball

     Fm
If I slow, let you close

                                      Db
You would notice I'm nothing like you thought I was at all

           Eb
But no one notices (no)

                                    Fm        Db C
Cause everybody's dancing round the disco ball

         Fm
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

           Db
Like I'm a disco ball

         Eb
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

           Fm         Db C
Like I'm a disco ball
[Verse]
       Fm
Yeah I learned long ago if I don't put on a show

        Db
They'll keep their distance (no)

    Eb
And people can 'you know'
N.C (Disappointment) (Fag) (Homo)
         Fm      Db C
Just for instance

       Fm
When I have let people in

                                     Db
There's tended to have been a bit of blowback
N.C Like ('We can fuck but I'm not gay')
         Eb
('I wish you'd dress a different way')

       Fm       Db C
Such a throwback

    Fm
But if I keep it all going
And if I keep it all glowing
     Bbm
It's great for you and I

       Db
(For everyone)

           Eb
Cause I'm never gonna show you

                           Cm     C
It really isn't all 'woo-woo' inside

     Fm
So I spin and I spin and I spin

                     Db
Dazzling like I'm a disco ball

       Eb
So the me that you see isn't real

                            Fm        Db C
No big deal, you'll have a disco ball

             Fm
Cause when I spin, spin, spin
In the club
                      Db
No one ever sees the cracks at all

       Eb
No one notices (no)

                                     Fm       Db C
Cause everybody's dancing round the disco ball

         Fm
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

           Db
Like I'm a disco ball

         Eb
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

           Fm          Db C Ab
Like I'm a disco ball
[DIALOGUE] [OLIVER, spoken]
Ab
But it's all good

G
It's all groovy

Fm
Cause you can just turn yourself into a little disco ball, baby

Eb
'Cause sure

Eb
No one wants to see the broken ugly pieces of a disco ball up close

Eb
But they don't mind them so much when they're making the room sparkle
[BRIDGE] [OLIVER]
Eb
So who cares...

Ab
Why those guys would not be seen with me?

C
Why no one wants the authentic me?

Fm
Why those strangers threw that shit at me?

Eb
Why their words hurt but deep down I don't disagree

Db
Why everyone I've loved's ashamed of me

Ab
Why my parents wouldn't look at me

Bbm
Why it's only dark inside of me

     Db        Bbm           C
When I can disco ball it all away
[Chorus]
      G                                           Eb
So I spin and I twirl, to the world all I am is a disco ball

       F                                                            Gm        Eb D
So I'm fractured and cracked, that's exactly what attracts you to a disco ball

            G                                                         Eb
I know it's fake and the toll that it takes kinda makes me think it's not sustainable

      F                                                                  Gm         Eb D
It's alright cause at least for the night they'll keep dancing round the disco ball

   Ab                                                    E
So come on here I am, come on, who's gonna use me like a disco ball?

          Gb                                                Abm       E Eb
You can't love me for me, that's OK, you can love me like a disco ball

          Ab                                                E
And though I'm hanging on by a thread, any minute there's a risk I'll fall

       Gb                                                   Abm       E Eb
Got no choice, cause I know I'm so much better off if I'm a disco ball

        A                                                             F
Can someone prove me wrong? How 'bout you, sir, you wouldn't choose a disco ball?

      G                                             Am         F E
Who'd prefer all of this ugliness to the party of a disco ball?

    A
Not me that's for sure
You think you’re not a fan
           F
I'm really not a fan at all
So come on N.C (Let's go!)
     G                          Am        F Em
Yes, everybody dance around the disco ball

         Am
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

            F
Like I'm a disco ball

          G
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin, spin

                      Am         F E
Like a stupid fucking disco ball

         Am
Watch me spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin
F
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin, spin
G
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin
           A
Like I'm a disco ball
