 GIt must have been cold there in my Cshadow
 GTo never have sunlight on youCr face
 AmYou were content to let mDe shine; that's your way
 AmYou always walked a step bDehind
[Verse 2]
 GSo I was the one with all the Cglory
 GWhile you were the one with all the Cstrain
 AmA beautiful face without a Dname; for so long
 AmA beautiful smile to hide the DpainB7

 EmDid you ever Cknow that you're my Ghero
 EmAnd everything CI would like to GbeD  
 EmI can fly Chigher than an GeaglDe
 CFor you are the Dwind beneath my Gwings
