[Verse]
G#m F#
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
E D#
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
G#m D#m
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
C#m D#sus4 D#
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
[Chorus]
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
E
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
B F#
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
E
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
B F#
And he's gotta be larger than life...
G#m
Larger than life.

[Verse]
G#m F#
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
E D#
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me.
G#m D#m
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
C#m D#sus4 D#
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
[Chorus]
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
E
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
B F#
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
E C#m7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
B F#
And he's gotta be larger than life...
G#m
I need a hero,

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

[Bridge]
G#m
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
E
out where the lightning splits the sea,
C#m D# G#m
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
G#m
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
E
and the storm and the flood,
C#m D# G#m
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
Bdim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
D#sus4 D#
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
[Chorus]
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
E
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
B F#
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
E
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
G#m D#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
E C#m7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
