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