G                                   C
 It must have been cold there in my shadow
G                             C
 To never have sunlight on your face
Am                        D
 You were content to let me shine; that's your way
Am                         D
 You always walked a step behind

[Verse 2]
G                              C
 So I was the one with all the glory
G                                   C
 While you were the one with all the strain
Am                         D
 A beautiful face without a name; for so long
Am                             D    B7
 A beautiful smile to hide the pain

[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
 For 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, of course I know it
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
 For you are the wind beneath my wings

Em            C                G
 Did I ever tell you, you're my hero
       Em                    C               G   D
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
       Em           C              G   D
Oh and I, I can fly higher than an eagle
C                   D              G
 'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

[Outro]
            C
Aaahhh, the wind beneath my wings
G                       C                 D 
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
    G      
Ooh fly, fly, fly higher than the stars 
   C                           D
So high I almost touched the sky
      G                     C               D               G 
Thank you, thank you, thank god for you the wind beneath my wings
