C
C Am F C
 
[Verse 1]
C   G                                     Am
    Clocks strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade,
 G                                     Am
still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away.
 F                G                      C                 F
I've done alright up 'til now, it's the light of day that shows me how,
     F        C    G/A               F     G
and when the night falls, loneliness calls.

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody, 
I wanna feel the heat with somebody.

Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody,

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody,

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

with somebody who loves me.

Oh! I wanna dance with somebody, 
 
I wanna feel the heat

Yeah! I wanna dance with somebody,

with somebody who loves me.

somebody who , somebody who,   to hold me in his arms, oh!
    F                        G
I need a man who'll take a chance,

on a love that burns hot enough to last.

So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
