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

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