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 Dm
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
[Chorus]
Am F
I need a hero
C G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the 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 G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
F
And it's gotta be soon
C G
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger then life
[Interlude]
Am F
Da-da da-da, da-da da-da
C G
Da-da da-da, da-da
Am F
Da-da da-da, da-da da-da
C G
Da-da da-da, da-da
[Verse]
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 Dm
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
[Chorus]
Am F
I need a hero
C G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the 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 G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
F
And it's gotta be soon
C
And he's gotta be larger than life
[Bridge]
Dm7
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
F
Out where the lightning splits the sea
Dm7
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere
G
Watching me
Dm7
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
F
And the storm and the raging flood
Dm7
Oh, his approach is like a
C (G)
Fire in my blood
Am7 F
Ill meet a hero
C
And then we'll dance till morning light
Am7 F
Dreaming he'll lead me,
C
Held tight, tonight's the night
[Chorus]
Am F
I need a hero
C G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the 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 G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
F
And it's gotta be soon
C G
And he's gotta be larger than life
Am
Larger than life
