F#5                                                            C#5
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F#5                                                     C#5
Where?s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
F#5                                    C#5
Isn?t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
F#5                                                  Eb5
   Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need.


         Bb5   F#5                              C#5                               Ab5
I need a hero, I?m holding out for a hero ?til the end of the night,
                     Bb5                                  F#5
He?s gotta be strong and he?s gotta be fast,
         C#5                                     Ab5
And he?s gotta be fresh from the fight.
         Bb5   F#5                              C#5                            Ab5
I need a hero, I?m holding out for a hero ?til the morning light,
                      Bb5                               F#5
He?s gotta be sure, and it?s gotta be soon,
         C#5                                 Ab5
And he?s gotta be larger than life...
            Bb5     F#5      C#5      Ab5
Larger than life.

Bb5     F#5      C#5      Ab5

Somewhere after midnight in 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, yeah!

CHORUS
 
Eb5
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above,
F#5
out where the lightning splits the sea,
Eb5                                                               C#5
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me.
Eb5
Through the wind and the chill and the rain,
F#5
and the storm and the raging flood,
Eb5                                          C#5
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood

           Bb5  F#5                C#5                         Ab5
I'll meet a hero, and then we'll dance 'til the morning light 
            Bb5       F#5
Dreaming he'll lead me
         C#5                Ab5
Held tight tonight's the night 

CHORUS

Bb5     F#5      C#5      Ab5   (repeat to end)

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
F#5                                                     C#5
Where?s the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
F#5                                    C#5
Isn?t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
