Holding out for a hero

 
              Intro:) Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E  Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E
 
Am                                    Em 
Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the gods? 
F                                   E           Am/E E       E7/G# 
Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds? 
Am                         Em 
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? 
Dm                                   E 
 Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need. 
 
(Chorus:) 
         Am                          Em 
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night, 
     F 
he's gotta be strong, and he's gotta fast, 
         C                       G 
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. 
         Am                          Em 
I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til 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. 
            Am    Am/G Fmaj7 Am/E E
Larger than life. 
 
Am                              Em 
Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy, 
F 
somewhere just beyond my reach, 
        E                    Am/E E   E7/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. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
         Am                                         
I need a hero,   
                      Em                            Am F/A Dm/A Bm7-5/A Am F/A Dm/A Bm7-5/A
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night. 
Am               Dm/A        Am
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, 
F 
out where the lightning splits the sea, 
Dm7                    E7                 Am 
I could swear there is someone, somewhere watching me. 
Am 
Through the wind and the chill and the rain, 
F 
and the storm and the flood, 
Dm7             E7                               
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood. 
Ebdim 
Like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood, 
                                             Am/E     E 
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood! Aah! 
 
(Chorus x2)
