Capo 5th fret ( chords relative to capo )

On a warm night in March on a dark disco floor
I danced up a storm like I?d never before
Every step in the book and then some that weren?t listed
For a song or two I felt nothing else existed

Now if a dream curled at your feet you?d take it home and name it
I?m struggling now to find something to blame it on
Strobing effects or perhaps it was that dress
But my eye was captured by a beautiful actress

Now the minutiae?s still my memory writ large
As she danced nearer me with her coy entourage
She tugged at the scarf round her neck it came loose
She flung it and hung it from the disc jockey?s booth

But before I continue one moments reprieve
I grant you dear audience a chance to leave
For my tale never ends in that it never started
When the house lights came on I?d already departed

No not one word was spoken nor a glance exchanged
When the sun rose next morning the world hadn?t changed
See we only touched elbows is the plain naked truth
And I can?t even back up my story with proof

We only touched elbows, felt our bones clunk together
Then the moment was over in a falling feather
An accident sure but it happened I?ll wrangle
Our elbows did touch our arms at right angles

Now there?s naught the nosey observer could?ve guessed
But the rock and roll drummer inside of my chest
Everyone?s seen her films and I?ll whisper her name
That we only touched elbows is not such a shame

For the world?s getting crowded and I can?t see a lapse
It?s not about leaving spaces but filling the gaps
We?re all bumping and knocking strangers all the time
Sometimes we don?t notice, mostly we don?t mind

A foot brushes your ankle on a peak hour bus
Someone?s hand on the small of your back as they pass
A shopkeepers fingers while handing you change
Can lightly brush yours without feeling too strange

But why I felt so alive I can?t quite determine
There could be a word to explain it in German
Some take others home waking up to regret it
We only touched elbows and I?ll never forget it

Now the innocent DJ still spins his black moons
And keeps us all moving with his faithful tunes
And the lights nod in synch, they?re mechanically powered
We only touched elbows and I still haven?t

Darren Hanlon – Couch Surfing

Well I haven’t paid rent in a month or more
I’m couch surfing
And I don’t have a key cause I don’t have a door
I’m couch surfing
I’m not taking calls
I’m between houses

Of my material possessions I’ve lost track
I didn’t need them
Everything I need fits in my backpack
I call it freedom
A pair of jeans some shirts and a guitar lead
A toothbrush, socks and a paperback reader
All the rest is what’s hanging off of me

And I’m not answering questions
I’m between houses

Outside the night is cold and stormy
And you blew up the air mattress for me
We’ll talk all night like an open book
And I’ll sleep on every breath you took
Before you leave I’ll sneak a look up at you

But there’s an old saying that could bare retelling
When you’re couch surfing:
’the guest should leave before the fish starts smelling’
When your couch surfing
It’s romantically existential
To reduce your life to the bare essential
All that which is inconsequential guides me

But this whole theory really depends
On weather or not you’ve got good friends
And all this weightlessness the philosopher preach
Reduces you to societies leach
But tonight i’ve landed on my feet
I’m still one friend away from the bum on the street
And i’ve used up all my good will vouchers
On every single friend with couches
It won’t be long before they’ll ask me to leave
It’s time i cut myself some keys
Give me a pen i'll sign a lease and go get me a home

Thats the whole song. HY.
