Holding Out For a Hero

Am
Where have all the good men gone
    G
And where are all the gods?
Am
Where's the street-wise Hercules
    C
To fight the rising odds?
Am                           G
Isn't there a white knight upon a 
fiery steed?
 F                               
Late at night I toss and turn and 
    G
dream
            (G let ring)
of what I need

         Am        F
I need a hero
                      C            
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the
            G
 end of the night
              Am
He's gotta be strong
                 F
And he's gotta be fast
        C                       G
And he's gotta be fresh from the 
fight
        Am      F
I need a hero
                   C               
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the
          G
 morning light
              Am
He's gotta be sure
                  F
And it's gotta be soon
                C             G (Let
 Ring)
And he's gotta be larger than life

larger then life

Am, F, C, G x2 FOR
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do

Continues after the ad
Am
Somewhere after midnight
      F
In my wildest fantasy
Am
Somewhere just beyond my reach
        G
There's someone reaching back for me
Am                        G
Racing on the thunder and rising 
with the heat
F                                 
Isn't there a superman to sweep me
         (C)
 off my feet?

(Am)
Up where the mountains meet the 
heavens above
G
Out where the lightning splits the 
sea
   Am
I could swear that there's someone, 
somewhere
C        (Am)
Watching me
F
Through the wind and the chill and 
the rain
G
And the storm and the raging flood
C              G
I can feel his approach
        C           G
just Like the fire in my blood

          Am
Ill meet a hero
    F          C                  
And then we'll dance till morning 
G
light
          C
Dreaming he'll leave me,
      F                  G
He'll die tonight's the night
