Am
Where have all the good men gone
G
And where are all the gods?
Am
Where's the street-wise Hercules
C
To fight the rising odds?
Am G
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F G
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
- G let ring-
of what I need
Chorus:
Am F
I need a hero
C G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Am
He's gotta be strong
F
And he's gotta be fast
C G
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
Am F
I need a hero
C G
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
Am
He's gotta be sure
F
And it's gotta be soon
C G -Let Ring-
And he's gotta be larger than life
larger then life
Am F C G -x2-
Do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Am
Somewhere after midnight
F
In my wildest fantasy
Am
Somewhere just beyond my reach
G
There's someone reaching back for me
Am G
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
F - C -
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
Chorus:
Am F
I need a hero

I need a hero

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life
larger then life
- F / Am -
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
G
Out where the lightning splits the sea
Am
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere
C -Am -
Watching me
F
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
G
And the storm and the raging flood
C G
I can feel his approach
C G
just Like the fire in my blood
Am
Ill meet a hero
F C G
And then we'll dance till morning light
C
Dreaming he'll leave me,
F G
He'll die tonight's the night

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life
larger then life.
