intro F Am Am7/G F Em7 E 2x
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 Em7 E
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need
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
Em7 E
Aaah aaah
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 Em7 E
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet yeah
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
I need a hero
Em
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
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
Em7 E
like the fire in my blood like the fire in my blood Aaah
