"Before I met you, all I was aware was the artificial needs,
        the shallow facets of everyday living..
        Now, I have learned what it is to have
        real joy, true happiness, true love..
        and it is all because of you.. "

        Remind us how we used to be
        A                 AM7                       A 
        
        Everybody's searching for a hero
        
                                   A7                      D
        
        People need someone to look up to
        
                                  DM7                        Bm
        
        I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
        
                     C#m      F#m
        
        A lonely place to be
        
                       Bm              E          D
        
        And so I learned to depend on me
        Chorus:
        
                       A
        
        I decided long ago
        
        Bm                    E       
        
        Never to walk in anyone's shadow
        
        D           A                 Bm                 E 
        
        If I fail if I succeed at least I'll live as I believe
        
              D                       A
        
        No matter what they take from me
        
                 Bm                        E        
        
        They can't take away my dignity
        
                         C#m F#m Bm       E                      C#m F#m Bm
        
        Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
        
               E           C#m F#m Bm    E       A
        
        I've found the greatest love inside of me
        
               A     A7 F#m   Bm Em A7       F#m  Bm Em
        
        The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
        
        A7             F#m       Bm
        
        Learning to love yourself
        
                    Em       A7        D
        
        It is the greatest love of all
        Repeat first verse
        Repeat chorus
        
        
        
               E7                      C#m    F#m  Bm
        
        And if by chance that special place
        
               E7                              C#m  F#m  Bm  
        
        That you've been dreaming of
        
        E7                   C#m   F#m
        
        Leads you to a lonely place
        
        Bm             E7          D   A
        
        Find your strength in love
