Late at night I toss and turn and dream

I need a hero

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life
larger then life

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?

And it's gotta be soon
C G
And he's gotta be larger than life
[BRIDGE]
F Am
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
G
Out where the lightning splits the sea
Am
I could swear that there's someone, somewhere
C (let ring)
Watching me
F
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
G
And the storm and the raging flood
C G (let ring)
Oh his approach is like a fire in my blood
F
I'll meet a hero
C
And then we'll dance till morning light
G C
Dreaming he'll leave me,
F G
He'll die tonight's the night
[Chorus]
