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