[Verse]
F#9 C#
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F#9 C#
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
F#9 C#
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F#9 D#m
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
A#m F#2 C# G#
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
A#m F#
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
C# G#
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
A#m F#2 C# G#
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
A#m F#
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
C# G#
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
A#m F# C# G#
Larger than life.
[Verse]
A#m F# C# G#
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
[Chorus]
D#m
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F#
out where the lightning splits the sea,
D#m C#
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
D#m
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F#
and the storm and the raging flood,
D#m C#
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
[Verse]
A#m F#2 C# G#
I'll meet a hero, and then we'll dance 'til the morning light
A#m F#2
Dreaming he'll lead me
C# G#
Held tight tonight's the night
[Instrumental]
A#m F# C# G# (repeat to end)
