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