    Verse 1
    Where 
    have 
    all 
    the 
    good 
    men 
    gone 

    And 
    where 
    are 
    all 
    the 
    Gods? 

    Where's 
    the 
    streetwise 
    Hercules 

    to 
    fight 
    the 
    rising 
    odds? 

    Isn't 
    there 
    a 
    white 
    knight 

    up
    on 
    a 
    fiery 
    steed? 

    Late 
    at 
    night 
    I 
    toss 
    and 
    I 
    turn 

    And 
    I 
    dream 
    of 
    what 
    I 
    need 

    Chorus 1
    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 
    gotta 
    be 
    fresh 
    from 
    the 
    fight 

    I 
    need 
    a 
    hero 

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

    He's 
    gotta 
    be 
    sure 

    And 
    it's 
    gotta 
    be 
    soon 

    And 
    he's 
    gotta 
    be 
    larger 
    than 
    life 

    Interlude 1
    Larger 

    (than 
    life) 


    (Ah 
    ah) 

    Verse 2
    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 2
    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 
    gotta 
    be 
    fresh 
    from 
    the 
    fight 

    I 
    need 
    a 
    hero 

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

    He's 
    gotta 
    be 
    sure 

    And 
    it's 
    gotta 
    be 
    soon 

    And 
    he's 
    gotta 
    be 
    larger 
    than 
    life 

    I 
    need 
    a 
    hero 

    I'm

    Bridge 1
    Up 
    where 
    the 
    mountains 

    meet 
    the 
    Heavens 
    above 

    Out 
    where 
    the 
    lightning 

    splits 
    the 
    sea 

    I 
    could 
    swear 
    there 
    is 
    someone, 

    somewhere 

    Watching 
    me 

    Through 
    the 
    wind, 

    and 
    the 
    chill, 
    and 
    the 
    rain 

    And 
    the 
    storm, 
    and 
    the 
    flood 

    I 
    can 
    feel 
    his 
    ap
    proach 

    like 
    a 
    fire 
    in 
    my 
    blood 

    (Like 
    a 
    fire 
    in 
    my 
    blood, 

    like 
    a 
    fire 
    in 
    my 
    blood) 

    (Like 
    a 
    fire 
    in 
    my 
    blood, 

    like 
    a 
    fire 
    in

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
