[Verse 1]
[Am]Where have all the good men gone
And [G]where are all the Gods?
[F]Where's the streetwise Hercules
to [E]fight the rising odds?
[Am]Isn't there a white knight
up[Em]on a fiery steed?
[Dm]Late at night I toss and I turn
And I [Am]dream of what I [E]need[E]

[Chorus 1]
I need a [Am]hero
I'm holdin' out for a [Em]hero
'til the end of the night
He's [F]gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's [C]gotta be fresh from the [G]fight
I need a [Am]hero
I'm holdin' out for a [Em]hero 'til the morning light
He's [F]gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's [C]gotta be larger than [G]life

[Verse 2]
[Am]Somewhere after midnight
In my [G]wildest fantasy
[F]Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's [E]someone reaching back for me
[Am]Racing on the thunder
and [Em]rising with the heat
[Dm]It's gonna take a Superman
to [Em]sweep me off my feet [E](yeah)

[Chorus 2]
I need a [Am]hero
I'm holdin' out for a [Em]hero
'til the end of the night

And he's gotta be fast
And he's [C]gotta be fresh from the [G]fight
I need a [Am]hero
I'm holdin' out for a [Em]hero 'til the morning light

[Am]Up where the mountains
meet the Heavens above
[F]Out where the lightning
splits the sea
[Dm]I could swear there is someo[E]ne,
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 approac[E]h
like a fire in my [Am]blood
[Ebdim7](Like a fire in my blood,
like a fire in my blood)
(Like a fire in my blood,
like a fire in [Am]my oh[E], oh)
