Verse 1: 

D                                     Em 
Clocks strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade, 
D                                     Em 
still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away. 
      Am              Em                    G             C 
I've done alright up 'til now, it's the light of day that shows me how, 
     Am      G/B     C                C     D   
and when the night falls, loneliness calls. 
     

      G                           C/G  G 
    Oh! I wanna dance with somebody,  
                                    D/F#  Em 
    I wanna feel the heat with somebody. 
                                       C 
    Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, 
               Am      D        G   
    with somebody who loves me.  

Verse 2:
 

D                                    Em                 
I've been in love and lost my senses, spinning through the town, 
D                                 Em 
soon or later the fever ends, and I wind up feeling down. 
   Am           Em                
I need someone who'll take a chance, 
      G                         C 
on a love that burns hot enough to last. 
   Am      G/B     C                   C D     G 
So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls.   

Bridge 
 Em                           D                        
Somebody to, somebody to,    somebody to love me  (Repeat 2x) 



      Ab                        C#/Ab  Ab 
    Oh! I wanna dance with somebody,  
                                       Eb/G  Fm 
    I wanna feel the heat with somebody. 
                                       C# 
    Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody, 
               Bbm      Eb        Ab   
    with somebody who loves me.
