G
Her and her friends piled into a Camry
       Am
Headed downtown, got in for free
       C
She's all dolled up, looking VIP
           G
Walked in, found a booth, took a seat
          G
Wiped the tear from the corner of her eye
        Am
Faked a smile to the Corona guy
      C
Usually she wouldn't give him the time of day
         G
But hey, in here tonight


[Pre-Chorus]
G
She don't wanna feel nothing real
Am                             C
She just want somebody to give her attention
              G
For a minute, call her beautiful
G
She ain't trying to wind up in love
Am                                    C
She's just trying to burn some time up
                                   G
On a Friday night in the neon light

Yeah, he hurt her soul


[Chorus]
G
She just needs a hero to save her
               Am
From being all alone
                            C
From paying for a drink she don't want
                             G
Nothing more than a dance or two

She's feeling blue
                     G      Am
But she just needs a hero, mmm
                     C    G
And she just needs a hero


[Verse 2]
     G
He's all geared up for his football game
     Am
He's wearing his jersey with the same last name
  C                                           G
A still reminder of the guy that ain't around these days
        G
And his mama's up in them aluminum stands
        Am
Saying 'run, baby run', she's his number one fan
      C
Doing the best she can
                      G
But wondering why his daddy can't be a better man


[Pre-Chorus]
G
He just wants to feel what kids feel
Am
Walking off the football field
C
After winning, for a minute
G
In his daddy's pads
G
The kid should never have to wonder
Am
If his old man even loves him
C
On a Friday night under Friday lights
G
Shouldn't be so sad


[Chorus]
G
That should be his hero
                               Am
That left him and his mama all alone
                             C
Barely even calls him on the phone
              G
Every year in March, sends a birthday card
                    G     Am
But he just needs a hero, mmm
                      C   G
Yeah, he just needs a hero


[Verse 3]
           G
There's an old white haired preacher man
       Am
With a leather bind good book on the stand
      C
Says 'if you're ready for a change, here's your chance
G
With every head bow, slip up your hand'


[Bridge]
G
If you wanna feel something real
Am
That this mean old world can't kill
C
Not even Satan
                   G
There's a saviour, he'll wash away your sins
G
All you gotta do is reap in
Am                         C
Open up your heart, accept him and
                G
He'll save your soul


[Chorus]
           G     Am
Jesus is a hero, ooo
                      C   G
And everybody needs a hero
           G     Am
Jesus is a hero, ooo
                      C   G
And everybody needs a hero
