Verse:
F
Where have all the good men gone
G
And where are all the gods?
F
Where's the street-wise Hercules
G
To fight the rising odds?
F G
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F G
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need
Chorus:
Am C
I need a hero
G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Am
He's gotta be strong
C
he's gotta be fast
G
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
Am C
I need a hero
G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
C
He's gotta be soon
G
And he's gotta be larger than life
Am
Larger than life
Am C G
Da da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da daa x2
Verse:
F
Somewhere after midnight
G
In my wildest fantasies
F
Somewhere just beyond my reach
G
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet
Chorus:
Am C
I need a hero
G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Am
He's gotta be strong

he's gotta be fast
G
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
Am C
I need a hero
G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
C
He's gotta be soon
G
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
Bridge:
Dm
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
F
Out where the lightning splits the sea
C
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
G
Watching me
Dm
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
F
And the storm and the raging flood
C
Oh his approach is like a
G
Fire in my blood
Chorus:
Am C
I need a hero
G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be soon
G
And he's gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
