Adam Lambert - Holding Out for a Hero: chords

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

Chorus:
          Gm                          F
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til
the end of the night,
     D#
He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast,
          A#                      F
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
          Gm                          F
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til
the morning light,
      D#
He’s gotta be sure, and it’s gotta be soon,
          D
And he’s gotta be larger than life
            Gm
Larger than life.

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach,
there's someone reachin' back for me
Racin' on the thunder and risin' with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet,
yeah

Chorus

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

Chorus:
I need a hero
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight (I need)
I need a hero (Yeah)
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the end of the night
(I'm holdin' out)
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's got to be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holdin' out for a hero 'til the mornin' light
(Yeah, yeah)
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's got to be larger than life
Larger than life
