Verse:
Em                                   D
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
C                                   B
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Em                          Bm
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Am                                     Bsus4            B
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.

Chorus:
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         G                        D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     C
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         G                    D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...


Verse:
Em                                   D
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
C                                   B
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Em                          Bm
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Am                              Bsus4           B
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!


Chorus:
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         G                        D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     C                       Am7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         G                    D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...



Bridge:
Em
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
C
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Am                     B                 Em
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.

Em
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
C
and the storm and the flood,
Am                     B                 Em
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood

Chorus:
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     C
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         G                        D
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Em                          Bm
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     C                       Am7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         G                    D
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
