Verse 1:
Bb                                   Eb
 It must have been cold there in my shadow
Bb                             Eb
 To never have sunlight on your face
Cm                        F
 You were content to let me shine; that's your way
Cm                         F
 You always walked a step behind

Verse 2:
Bb                              Eb
 So I was the one with all the glory
Bb                                   Eb
 While you were the one with all the strain
Cm                         F
 a beautiful face without a name; for so long
Cm                             F    D7
 a beautiful smile to hide the pain

Chorus:
Gm            Eb                   Bb
 Did you ever know that you're my hero
Gm              Eb               Bb   F
 And everything I would like to be
Gm         Eb              Bb   F
 I can fly higher than an eagle
Eb                F               Bb
 For you are the wind beneath my wings

Verse 3:
Bb                               Eb
 It might have appeared to go unnoticed
Bb                             Eb
 But I've got it all here in my heart
Cm                            F
 I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it
Cm                          F    D7
 I would be nothing without you

Chorus:
Gm            Eb                   Bb
 Did you ever know that you're my hero
Gm              Eb               Bb   F
 And everything I would like to be
Gm         Eb              Bb   F
 I can fly higher than an eagle
Eb                F               Bb
 For you are the wind beneath my wings


Gm            Eb                Bb
 Did I ever tell you, you're my hero
       Gm                    Eb               Bb   F
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
       Gm           Eb              Bb   F
Oh and I, I can fly higher than an eagle
Eb                   F              Bb
 'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

Outro:
            Eb
Aaahhh, the wind beneath my wings
Bb                       Eb                 F
Fly, fly, fly away, you let me fly so high
    Bb
Ooh fly, fly, fly higher than the stars
   Eb                           F
So high I almost touched the sky
      Bb                     Eb               F               Bb
Thank you, thank you, thank god for you the wind beneath my wings
