Intro:) Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E
Am Em
Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods?
F E Am/E E E7/G#
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Am Em
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Dm E
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
(Chorus:)
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 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 Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E
Larger than life.
Am Em
Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy,
F
somewhere just beyond my reach,
E Am/E E E7/G#
there's someone reaching back for me.
Am Em
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
Dm E
it's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.
(Chorus)
Am
I need a hero,
Em Am F/A Dm/A Bm7-5/A Am F/A Dm/A Bm7-5/A
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
Am Dm/A Am
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Dm7 E7 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,
Dm7 E7
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood.
Ebdim
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
Am/E E
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aah!
(Chorus x2)
