[Verse]
Dm                                   C
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
A#                                   A
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Dm                          Am
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Gm                                     Asus4            A
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.


[Chorus]
         Dm                          Am
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,
         F                        C
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Dm                          Am
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,
         F                    C
And he's gotta be larger than life...

            Dm
Larger than life.

Dm                                   C
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
A#                                   A
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me.
Dm                          Am
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Gm                              Asus4           A
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!


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

He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Dm                          Am
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     A#                       Gm7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         F                    C
And he's gotta be larger than life...

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

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

Dm
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
A#
and the storm and the flood,
Gm                     A                 Dm
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
Fdim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               Asus4    A
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Dm                          Am
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     A#                       Gm7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         F                    C
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         Dm                          Am
