[Verse 1]
Am
  Where have all the good men gone
    C/G
And where are all the gods?
F
Where's the streetwise Hercules
        E                E/G#
To fight the rising odds?
Am                               Em
  Isn't there a white knight upon  a fiery steed?
Dm
  Late at night I toss and I turn,
      E
and I dream of what I need
         Am
I need a hero

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

[Verse 2]
Am
  Somewhere after midnight
      C/G
In my wildest fantasy
F
Somewhere just beyond my reach
            E                       E/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
         Am
I need a hero

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

[Bridge]
Am
  Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
F
 Out where the lightning splits the sea
Dm                               E                  Am
  I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
F
 And the storm and the flood
Dm                       E
  I can feel his approach
                         Am
Like the fire in my blood
Adim7  Am/E E
     Oh
         Am
I need a hero

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

He's gotta be sure
And he's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life
