[Verse]
G#m                                   F#
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
E                                   D#
Where’s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
G#m                          D#m
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
C#m                                     D#sus4            D#
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
 
 
[Chorus]
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     E
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         B                        F#
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     E
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         B                    F#
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
 
            G#m
Larger than life.
 
 
G#m
   Do do do do
G#m7/F#
     Do do do do
E
  Do do do do

     Aaah  aaah
 
 
[Verse]
G#m                                   F#
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy,
E                                   D#
Somewhere just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back for me.
G#m                          D#m
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
C#m                              D#sus4           D#
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet, yeah!
 
 
[Chorus]
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     E
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         B                        F#
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     E                       C#m7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         B                    F#
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
 
         G#m
I need a hero,
                      D#m
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night

[Bridge]
G#m
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
E
out where the lightning splits the sea,
C#m                     D#                 G#m
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
 
G#m
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
E
and the storm and the flood,
C#m                     D#                 G#m
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
 
Bdim
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
                                               D#sus4    D#
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aaah!
 
 
[Chorus] x2
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night,
     E
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
         B                        F#
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         G#m                          D#m
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light,
     E                       C#m7
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
         B                    F#
And he’s gotta be larger than life...
