[INTRO]
E B/D# C#m C#m/B
A E/G# F#m7 A/B
[VERSE 1]
          E           D
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
          A                             A/B
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
           E             D
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
        C                               A/B
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
[CHORUS]
E               B/D#   C#m           C#m/B             A
And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
                  E/G#  F#m           A/B             E
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
                      B/D#    C#m         C#m/B             A
So when you feel like hope is gone look inside   you and be strong,
                   E/G#    F#m          A/B          E
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you
[VERSE 2]
        E                  D
It's a long road when you face the world alone
        A                            A/B
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
        E                D
You can find love if you search within yourself
        C                            A/B
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
[CHORUS]
E               B/D#   C#m           C#m/B             A
And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
                  E/G#  F#m           A/B             E
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
                      B/D#    C#m         C#m/B             A
So when you feel like hope is gone look inside   you and be strong,
                   E/G#    F#m          A/B          E
And you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you
[BRIDGE]
C     G/B G            D
 Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
C              G/B    G    D/F# Em D
 But don't let anyone tear them away
C     G/B G             D
 Hold on     there will be tomorrow
C  G/B                  A/B
In time you'll find the way
[CHORUS]
E               B/D#   C#m           C#m/B             A
