[Verse 1]
Dm                                     C
  Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
Bb                                  A
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Dm                            C
  Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Bb                                      A
  Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need


[Chorus]
         Dm
I need a hero
                      Am
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
     Bb
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
         F                       C
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
          (Dm)
Fresh from the fight

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


[Chorus]
         Dm
I need a hero
                      Am
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
     Bb
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
         F                       C
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
         Dm
I need a hero
                      Am
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
     Bb
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
         F                    C
And he's gotta be larger than life
      (Dm)
Larger than life

[Verse 3]
Dm
  Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
C
 Out where the lightning splits the sea
Bb                           A                 Dm
  I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Dm
  Through the wind and the chill and the rain
C
 And the storm and the flood
Bb                 A                          Dm
  I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood


[Tag]
                    Dm
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood
                    Dm
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my
