G                                  C
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
G                              C
to never have sunlight on your face.
Am                         D
You've been content to let me shine.
Am                         D
You've always walked a step behind.

[Verse 2]
G                             C
I was the one with all the glory,
G                                   C
while you were the one with all the strength.
Am                     D
Only a face without a name.
Am                        D  B7
I never once heard you complain.

[Chorus]
Em           C                   G
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
Em             C               G D
and everything I'd like to be?
Em        C              G D
I can fly higher than an eagle
C               D               G
but you are the wind beneath my wings.

[Verse 3]
G                              C
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
G                              C
but I've got it all here in my heart.
Am                            D
I want you to know I know the truth.
Am                         D B7
I would be nothing without you.

[Chorus]
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
but you are the wind beneath my wings.

C           D               G
you are the wind beneath my wings.
