Tom: Am

Intro: 2 x  Am  C  F  E 
 
 Am                                        Em
   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                             Em
   Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed
  F                                      E
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.
 

          Am                       
I need a hero, I'm holding out for 
   Em
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   
I need a hero, I'm holding out for 
   Em
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      C  F  E  E7
Larger than   life.
 

Am                                 Em
  Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy,
   F                    
  somewhere just beyond my reach,
           E
  there's someone reaching back for me.
Am                           Em
  Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat,
 

 F                                            E  E7       
  it's gonna take a superman to sweep me off feet.
 

          Am                       
I need a hero, I'm holding out for 
   Em
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

          C                    G
and he's gotta be larger than life.
           Am                                        
I need a hero, I'm holding out for 
   Em                           Am      
a hero 'til the end of the night
 

Am
  Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
 F            
  out where the lightning splits the sea,
Dm                       E                 Am
 I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
 
 Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
 F
  and the storm and the flood,
Dm                   E       
  I can feel his approach 
                        Am
  like the fire in my blood.
Am 
  Like the fire in my blood, 

  like the fire in my blood,

  like the fire in my blood,
 E  
  like the fire in my blood  aaah
