Holding Out For a Hero - Bonnie Tyler
[Intro]
F Am
Am Am7/G F Esus4 E 2x
[Verse]
Am G
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F E
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Am Em
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Dm Esus4 E
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
[Chorus]
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
F
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
C G
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
F
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
C G
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
Am
Larger than life.
Am
Do do do do
Am7/G
Do do do do
F
Do do do do
Esus4 E
Aaah aaah
[Verse]
Am G
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
F E
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Am Em
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
Dm Esus4 E
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
[Chorus]
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
F
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
C G
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
F Dm7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
C G
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
Am
I need a hero,
Em
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
[Break]
Am
[Bridge]
Am
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Dm E Am
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
Am
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F
and the storm and the flood,
Dm E Am
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
Cdim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
Esus4 E
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
[Chorus] x2
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
F
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
C G
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
Am Em
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
F Dm7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
C G
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
