[Verse]
Gm                                   F
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
D#                                   D
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Gm                          Dm
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Cm                                     Dsus4            D
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.


[Chorus]
         Gm                          Dm
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     D#
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         A#                        F
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Gm                          Dm
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     D#
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         A#                    F
And he's gotta be larger than life...

            Gm
Larger than life.

[Verse]
Gm                                   F
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
D#                                   D
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me.
Gm                          Dm
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Cm                              Dsus4           D
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!


[Chorus]
         Gm                          Dm
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     D#                       Cm7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         A#                    F
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         Gm
I need a hero,
                      Dm
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

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

Gm
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
D#
and the storm and the flood,
Cm                     D                 Gm
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
A#dim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               Dsus4    D
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Gm                          Dm
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
