[Verse]
A#m                                   G#
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F#                                   F
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
A#m                          Fm
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
D#m                                     Fsus4            F
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.


[Chorus]
         A#m                          Fm
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.
         A#m                          Fm
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...

            A#m
Larger than life.

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
F#                                   F
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me.
A#m                          Fm
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
D#m                              Fsus4           F
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!

A#m
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F#
out where the lightning splits the sea,
D#m                     F                 A#m
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.

A#m
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F#
and the storm and the flood,
D#m                     F                 A#m
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
C#dim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               Fsus4    F
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
