G                                    C   
It must have been cold there in my shadow,   
G                               C     
to never have sunlight on your face.   
Am                           D    D7  
You were content to let me shine; that's your way.   
Am                           D   
You always walked a step behind.   
   
   
G                              C   
So I was the one with all the glory,   
G                                    C   
while you were the one with all the strain.   
Am                          D    D7     
A beautiful face without a name; for so long.   
Am                              D            B7   
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.   
   
   
Em            C                   G   
Did you ever know that you're my hero,   
Em             C                G           D   
and everything I would like to be?   
Em           C              G             D   
I can fly higher than an eagle     
C                 D                 G   
for you are the wind beneath my wings.   
   
   
G                              C   
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,   
G                              C   
but I've got it all here in my heart.   
Am                             D    D7  
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.   
Am                          D           B7   
I would be nothing without you.   
   
   
Em            C                   G   
Did you ever know that you're my hero,   
Em             C                G           D   
and everything I would like to be?   
Em           C              G             D   
I can fly higher than an eagle     
C                 D                 G   
for you are the wind beneath my wings.   
   
   
Em            C                   G   
Did you ever know that you're my hero,   
Em             C                G           D   
and everything I would like to be?   
Em           C              G             D   
I can fly higher than an eagle     
C                 D                 G   
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
