                 D  C A#
I wanna be your hero
I'll be a trick of the light
I wanna be your hero
I'll be your heat in the nite

D
Hold tight
                      C A#
'Cos I like what I see
      D
Ya excite
                         C A#
You put your finger on me
                 D
You're not too shy
                         C A#
You put a sting in my tail
         D
A magic ride
                          C A#
And I'm-a hot on your trail

You know
D       A           E
Ya got something I want
Ya got something I need
Yeah!
I got something to say
D#         G
I'm on my way

Hot licks on the tip of my tongue
Electric you turn your headlight on

Ya know
Ya got something I want
Ya got something I need
Yeah!
I got something to say
I'm on my way
Ooh yeah
Get up and go

Chorus:
G  F             D# F
I wanna be your hero
(I wanna be your hero)
I'll be a trick of the light
I wanna be your hero
(I wanna be your hero)
In the heat of the nite
A-hold tight
I like what I see
Oh

Just one night
That's all I'm asking from you too

Ya got something I want
Ya got something I need
I got something to say
I'm on my way
Ooh yeah
Get up and go

Chorus:
I wanna be your hero
(I wanna be your hero)
I'll be a trick of the light
I wanna be your hero
(I wanna be your hero)
I wanna be your hero
I wanna be your hero
I wanna be your hero
I wanna be your hero
