[Verse 1]
Am G
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F E
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Am G
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F E
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
[Chorus]
Am
I need a hero
Em
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
F
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
C G

Am
Somewhere after midnight
G
In my wildest fantasy
F
Somewhere just beyond my reach
Em E
There's someone reaching back for me

I need a hero
Em
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
F
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
C G
And he's gotta be larger than life
(Dm)
Larger than life

Out where the lightning splits the sea
F E Am
I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Am
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
G
And the storm and the flood
F E Am
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
[Tag]
Am
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood
Am
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my
