Capo 5th fret ( chords relative to capo ) F F F Dm Dm F F F On a warm night in March on a dark disco floor Dm I danced up a storm like I’d never before F G F Every step in the book and then some that weren’t listed Dm Dm G For a song or two I felt nothing else existed F F 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 F G F Strobing effects or perhaps it was that dress Dm Dm G But my eye was captured by a beautiful actress F F F Now the minutiae’s still my memory writ large Dm As she danced nearer me with her coy entourage F G F She tugged at the scarf round her neck it came loose Dm F F F She flung it and hung it from the disc jockey’s booth F G Dm F But before I continue one moments reprieve F F I grant you dear audience a chance to leave F G Dm F For my tale never ends in that it never started F G When the house lights came on I’d already departed F F F No not one word was spoken nor a glance exchanged Dm When the sun rose next morning the world hadn’t changed F G F See we only touched elbows is the plain naked truth Dm F F F And I can’t even back up my story with proof Cm F F We only touched elbows, felt our bones clunk together Dm Then the moment was over in a falling feather F G F An accident sure but it happened I’ll wrangle Dm Dm Dm Dm G Our elbows did touch our arms at right angles F F F Now there’s naught the nosey observer could’ve guessed Dm But the rock and roll drummer inside of my chest F G F Everyone’s seen her films and I’ll whisper her name Dm F F That we only touched elbows is not such a shame F G Dm F For the world’s getting crowded and I can’t see a lapse F F It’s not about leaving spaces but filling the gaps F G Dm F We’re all bumping and knocking strangers all the time F G Sometimes we don’t notice, mostly we don’t mind F F F A foot brushes your ankle on a peak hour bus Dm Someone’s hand on the small of your back as they pass F G F A shopkeepers fingers while handing you change Dm Dm G Can lightly brush yours without feeling too strange F F F But why I felt so alive I can’t quite determine Dm There could be a word to explain it in German F G F Some take others home waking up to regret it Dm Dm We only touched elbows and I’ll never forget it G F F F F F Dm Dm F G F Dm Dm Dm G F F F Dm Dm F G F Dm Dm Dm F F F Now the innocent DJ still spins his black moons Dm Dm And keeps us all moving with his faithful tunes F G F And the lights nod in synch, they’re mechanically powered Dm F F We only touched elbows and I still haven’t showered
