Verse
[Am]Where have all the good men gone and [G]where are all the gods?
[F]Where’s the street-wise Hercules to [E]fight the rising odds?

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

[Dm]It’s gonna take a superman to [Esus4]sweep me off my [E]feet, yeah!

Break
[Am]
Bridge
[Am]Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
[F]out where the lightning splits the sea,
[Dm]I could swear there is [E]someone somewhere [Am]watching me.
[Am]Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
[F]and the storm and the flood,
[Dm]I can feel his approach[E] like the fire in [Am]my blood
[Cdim]like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my blood,
like the fire in my blood, like the fire in my [Esus4]blood! [E]Aaah!
[Chorus] x2
I need a [Am]hero, I’m holding out for a [Em]hero ‘til the end of the night,
He’s [F]gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
And he’s [C]gotta be fresh from the [G]fight.
I need a [Am]hero, I’m holding out for a [Em]hero ‘til the morning light,
He’s [F]gotta be sure, and it’s [Dm7]gotta be soon,
And he’s [C]gotta be larger than [G]life...
