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

* 2-bar break

* Chorus I need a hero.
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night.
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. (hero)
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning ligh.
(Hero 'til the morning, hero 'til the morning light)
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life.

Larger than life.

* 7-bar break

* Verse 2 Somewhere after midnight n my wildest fantasy,
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
There's someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.

* 6-bar break

* Verse 3 Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea,
I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me.
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood,
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood.
(Like the fire in my blood) (4x)

* 7-bar break

(Hero)

* 10-bar break

* Repeat 2nd half of chorus

* Outro (Ooooooooh, aaaaaaah, hero)
Well, he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero.
