Capo 5th fret ( chords relative to capo ) G C G Em Em G C G On a warm night in March on a dark disco floor Em 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 Am Em 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 Em I�m struggling now to find something to blame it on C D G Strobing effects or perhaps it was that dress Am Em D But my eye was captured by a beautiful actress G C G Now the minutiae�s still my memory writ large Em As she danced nearer me with her coy entourage C D G She tugged at the scarf round her neck it came loose Am C G G She flung it and hung it from the disc jockey�s booth C D Em C But before I continue one moments reprieve C G I grant you dear audience a chance to leave C D Em 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 Em When the sun rose next morning the world hadn�t changed C D G See we only touched elbows is the plain naked truth Am C G G And I can�t even back up my story with proof Gm C G We only touched elbows, felt our bones clunk together Em Then the moment was over in a falling feather C D G An accident sure but it happened I�ll wrangle Am Em Em Em D Our elbows did touch our arms at right angles G C G Now there�s naught the nosey observer could�ve guessed Em But the rock and roll drummer inside of my chest C D G Everyone�s seen her films and I�ll whisper her name Am C G That we only touched elbows is not such a shame C D Em 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 Em 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 Em Someone�s hand on the small of your back as they pass C D G A shopkeepers fingers while handing you change Am Em D Can lightly brush yours without feeling too strange G C G But why I felt so alive I can�t quite determine Em There could be a word to explain it in German C D G Some take others home waking up to regret it Am Em We only touched elbows and I�ll never forget it D G C G C G Em Em C D G Am Am Em D G C G Em Em C D G Am Em Em G C G Now the innocent DJ still spins his black moons Em Em And keeps us all moving with his faithful tunes C D G And the lights nod in synch, they�re mechanically powered Am C G We only touched elbows and I still haven�t
