On a warm night in March on a dark disco floor
Fm
I danced up a storm like I’d never before
C# D# G#
Every step in the book and then some that weren’t listed
A#m Fm D#
For a song or two I felt nothing else existed
G# C# G#
Now if a dream curled at your feet you’d take it home and name it
Fm
I’m struggling now to find something to blame it on
C# D# G#
Strobing effects or perhaps it was that dress
A#m Fm D#
But my eye was captured by a beautiful actress
G# C# G#
Now the minutiae’s still my memory writ large
Fm
As she danced nearer me with her coy entourage
C# D# G#
She tugged at the scarf round her neck it came loose
A#m C# G# G#
She flung it and hung it from the disc jockey’s booth
C# D# Fm C#
But before I continue one moments reprieve
C# G#
I grant you dear audience a chance to leave
C# D# Fm C#
For my tale never ends in that it never started
C# D#
When the house lights came on I’d already departed
G# C# G#
No not one word was spoken nor a glance exchanged
Fm
When the sun rose next morning the world hadn’t changed
C# D# G#
See we only touched elbows is the plain naked truth
A#m C# G# G#
And I can’t even back up my story with proof
G#m C# G#
We only touched elbows, felt our bones clunk together
Fm
Then the moment was over in a falling feather
C# D# G#
An accident sure but it happened I’ll wrangle
A#m Fm Fm Fm D#
Our elbows did touch our arms at right angles
G# C# G#
Now there’s naught the nosey observer could’ve guessed
Fm
But the rock and roll drummer inside of my chest
C# D# G#
Everyone’s seen her films and I’ll whisper her name
A#m C# G#
That we only touched elbows is not such a shame
C# D# Fm C#
For the world’s getting crowded and I can’t see a lapse
C# G#
It’s not about leaving spaces but filling the gaps
C# D# Fm C#
We’re all bumping and knocking strangers all the time
C# D#
Sometimes we don’t notice, mostly we don’t mind
G# C# G#
A# foot brushes your ankle on a peak hour bus
Fm
Someone’s hand on the small of your back as they pass
C# D# G#
A# shopkeepers fingers while handing you change
A#m Fm D#
Can lightly brush yours without feeling too strange
G# C# G#
But why I felt so alive I can’t quite determine
Fm
There could be a word to explain it in German
C# D# G#
Some take others home waking up to regret it
A#m Fm
We only touched elbows and I’ll never forget it

G# C# G#
Now the innocent DJ still spins his black moons
Fm Fm
And keeps us all moving with his faithful tunes
C# D# G#
And the lights nod in synch, they’re mechanically powered
A#m C# G#
We only touched elbows and I still haven’t
