[Verse]
Am                                   G                      
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F                                   E                     
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Am                          Em                
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Dm                                  Esus4            E   
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.

[Chorus]
         Am                          Em                             
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     F                                      
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         C                        G    
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Am                          Em                          
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     F                                     
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         C                    G      
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
            Am   
Larger than life.
Am         
Do do do do
Am7/G      
Do do do do
F          
Do do do do
Esus4 E   
Aaah  aaah

[Verse]
Am                                   G         
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
F                                   E                               
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Am                          Em                
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Dm                              Esus4           E        
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!

[Chorus]
         Am                          Em                             
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     F                                      
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         C                        G    
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Am                          Em                          
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     F                       Dm7           
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         C                    G      
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
         Am   
I need a hero,
                      Em                            
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

Am                                            
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F                                      
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Dm                     E                 Am          
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
Am                                          
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F                           
and the storm and the flood,
Dm                     E                 Am      
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
Cdim                                                 
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               Esus4    E  
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
[Chorus] x2
         Am                          Em                             
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     F                                      
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         C                        G    
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Am                          Em                          
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     F                       Dm7           
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         C                    G      
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
