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.
[Refrain]
         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                                   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!

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 
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!
