AmWhere (x02210@1)have all the good men gone
    G (320003@1)                    
And where are all the gods? X
AmWhere's (x02210@1)the street-wise Hercules
    C (x32010@1)                    
To fight the rising odds? XX
Am (x02210@1)                         G (320003@1)                
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? X
 F (133211@1)                                
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
*G  (let ring)            
of what I need

[Chorus]
         AmI (x02210@1)need a hero
 F (133211@1)                   C (x32010@1)                            GI'm (320003@1)holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
                AmHe's (x02210@1)gotta be strong
                   FAnd (133211@1)he's gotta be fast
                C (x32010@1)             GAnd (320003@1)he's gotta be larger than life

Larger than life..

Am (x02210@1)  C (x32010@1)  F (133211@1)      Gda (320003@1)da da, da da da
Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1) Gx2 (320003@1)(let ring)
da da da da, dah
(Repeat)

AmSomewhere (x02210@1)after midnight
      F (133211@1)              
In my wildest fantasy X
AmSomewhere (x02210@1)just beyond my reach
        G (320003@1)                         
There's someone reaching back for me XX
Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)                  
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat  X
F (133211@1)                                        (C)
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
