[Verse]
Bm                                   A
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
G                                   F#
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Bm                          F#m
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Em                                     F#sus4            F#
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.


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

            Bm
Larger than life.

Bm                                   A
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
G                                   F#
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me.
Bm                          F#m
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Em                              F#sus4           F#
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!


[Chorus]

He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         D                    A
And he's gotta be larger than life...

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

Bm
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
G
and the storm and the flood,
Em                     F#                 Bm
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
Ddim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               F#sus4    F#
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
