Intro: Am, F, Am, F, Am 

(Am)            F            C 
Clock strikes upon the hour 
(C)                   G      Am 
And the sun begins to fade 
(Am)                 F            C 
Still enough time to figure out 
(C)                     G     F 
How to chase my blues away 
(F)               G 
I've done alright up 'til now 
F                            G           F 
It's the light of day that shows me how 
(F)               G 
And when the night falls 
                 F 
Loneliness calls 

 
C               F 
    Oh! I wanna dance with somebody 
C                  F 
    wanna feel the heat with somebody 
Am                     F 
    Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody 
G            F                Am  F  Am 
    With somebody who loves me 

(Am)                   F              C 
I've been in love and lost my senses 
(C)                  G      Am 
Spinning through the town 
(Am)                F           C 
Sooner or later the fever ends 
(C)                   G     F 
And I wind up feeling down 
(F)                  G 
I need a woman who'll take a chance 
     F                     G               F 
On a love that burns hot enough to last 
(F)                    G 
So when the night falls 
(G)             F 
My lonely heart calls 



C               F 
    Oh! I wanna dance with somebody 
C                  F 
    wanna feel the heat with somebody 
Am                     F 
    Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody 
G            F 
    With somebody who loves me 

C, F, C, F, 

C               F 
    Oh! I wanna dance with somebody 
C                  F 
    wanna feel the heat with somebody 
Am                     F 
    Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody 
G            F 
    With somebody who loves me 

{play softer}

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody
