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


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

            F#m
Larger than life.

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


[Chorus]
         F#m                          C#m
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,
         A                        E
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     D                       Bm7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         A                    E
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         F#m
I need a hero,

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

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

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


[Chorus]
         F#m                          C#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     D
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         A                        E
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         F#m                          C#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     D                       Bm7
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon,
         A                    E
And he's gotta be larger than life...

         F#m                          C#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night,
     D
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast,
         A                        E
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
         F#m                          C#m
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light,
     D                       Bm7
