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


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

            D#m
Larger than life.

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


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

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

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

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


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

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