(Elphie, listen to me - just say you're sorry...)
D# D#sus2 Bb
You can still be with the wizard
D# D#sus2 Bb
What you've worked and waited for
D# Bb
You can have all you ever wanted
D#sus2 Bb C
(I know...) But I don't want it - No - I can't want it anymore
[Verse 1]
C F9
Something has changed within me
C Fsus2
Something is not the same
C F9 C
I'm through with playing by the rules
Bb
Of someone else's game
Bbsus2 C
Too late for second-guessing
Bbsus2 C
Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap
[Chorus]

It's time to try

Defying gravity
C C* F Fsus2
And you can't pull me down
[Post-Chorus]
C C* F Fsus2
Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?
[Verse 2]
C Fsus2
I'm through accepting limits
C Fsus2
'Cause someone says they're so
C Fsus2
Some things I cannot change
F Bb
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Bbsus2 C
Too long I've been afraid of
Bbsus2 C
Losing love - I guess I've lost
Bb C
Well, if that's love
F G
It comes at much too high a cost
[Chorus]
Am
I'd sooner buy
F G
Defying gravity
Am
Kiss me goodbye
F G
I'm defying gravity
Fsus2
And you can't pull me down...

Together we'll be the greatest team
F F9 F
There's ever been, Glinda,
C F
Dreams the way we planned them

If we work in tandem

There's no fight we cannot win
[Chorus]

Just you and I
F G
Defying gravity

With you and I

Defying gravity

They'll never bring us down

I hope you're happy, my friend

So if you care to find me
Fsus2(F)
Look to the western sky
C G
As someone told me lately
F Fsus2 Bb
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
C Bb
And if I'm flying solo
C Bb
At least I'm flying free
C
To those who'd ground me
Bb G
Take a message back from me
[Chorus]
Am
Tell them how I
F G
Am defying gravity!
Am
I'm flying high
F G
Defying gravity!
Am Fsus2
And soon I'll match them in renown
C Fsus2
And nobody in all of Oz
C Fsus2
No wizard that there is or was
F G Am
Is ever gonna bring me down! (I hope you're happy)
[Post-Chorus]
F
Look at her she's wicked! Get her!
Am
Bring me down!
(No one mourns the wicked)
F G G# B C
So we've got to bring her down!
