You're The Inspiration
Words and music by Peter Cetera and David Foster. Written in 1984, the song has a slow rock feel with a 4/4 time signature. I have the chord chart in the Key of G but then it modulates to Bb, then D. Back to Bb, key of D, then finishes in E.

Another great song with chords, Color My World by Chicago!
I think one of the reasons this group performs powerful music is their ability to change keys!
