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


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

            C#m
Larger than life.

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


[Chorus]
         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     A
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         E                        B
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     A                       F#m7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         E                    B
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         C#m
I need a hero,
                      G#m
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

C#m


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

C#m
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
A
and the storm and the flood,
F#m                     G#                 C#m
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
Edim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               G#sus4    G#
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!


[Chorus]
         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     A
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         E                        B
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     A                       F#m7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         E                    B
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     A
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         E                        B
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         C#m                          G#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     A                       F#m7

         E                    B
And he's gotta be larger than life...
