Defying Gravity, from “Wicked”
INTRO:
– / – / – (2x)
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
/ Cbsus2
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game
Dbsus
Too late for second guessing
Cbsus2 Dbsus Db
Too late to go back to sleep
/ /
It’s time to trust my instincts
Db/Gb Absus
Close my eyes … and leap
(no5) Absus
It’s time to try defying gravity
(no5) Absus
I think I’ll try defying gravity
/ /
And you can’t pull me down
– / – / –
/ / (add4)
I’m through ac- cepting limits
/ /
‘Cause some- one says they’re so
/ / (add4)
Some things I cannot change
/ Cbsus2
But till I try, I’ll never know
Dbsus
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Cbsus2
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
/ /
Well, if that’s love
Db/Gb Absus
It comes at much too high a cost
(no5) Absus
I’d sooner buy defy- ing gravity
(no5) Absus
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defy- ing gravity
Ab7sus (#11)
And you can’t pull me down
Unlimited
(add4)
My future is unlimited
(#11) (add4)
Un- li- mi- ted
Amaj9(#11) G#m11 C#m11
And I’ve just had a vision almost like a prophecy
/
I know it sounds truly crazy
B9sus
And true, the vision’s hazy
(no5)
But I swear, someday I’ll be up in the sky
F#sus
Defy- ing gravity
(no5) F#sus
Flying so high, defy- ing gravity
F#7sus – / - -
They’ll never pull me down
– / – / –
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
/ / (add4)
As some- one told me lately
/ / Cbsus2
Every- one deserves the chance to fly
Dbsus
And if I’m fly- ing solo
Cbsus2
At least I’m flying free
/ /
To those who ground me
Db/Gb Absus
Take a message back from me
(no5) Absus
Tell them how I am de- fy- ing gravity
(no5) Absus
I’m flying high, de- fy- ing gravity
/ /
And soon I’ll match them in re- known
Absus/ Ab7sus/
And nobody in all of Oz
/ (add4)/ Ab9sus/ /
No wizard that there is or was
(add9)/ ()/ Absus Ab7sus – (add4) – /
Is ever gonna bring … me down
– / – (add2)/ – /
Oh
