I Wanna Dance With Somebody chords by Ben Rector

Hey everyone, I thought I'd take a moment to chart out Ben Rector's version of
Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"

If you haven't seen it, check it out on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BW_ugyj0lw

Awesome version of the song and fun to play.  Also, I know he plays in the key of
B, but I find it easier to capo on the 4th fret and play it in G.  You can
transpose it back down if you'd like.  Enjoy.

Capo 4

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.

Chorus
      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)

               Bbm      Eb        Ab
    with somebody who loves me.
