For Good Tab

by Wicked


I am 100% sure that this is 100% correct, since I got it from the Wicked music 
book that Stephen Schwartz wrote so... ya...  All the credit goes to him, I just typed it up.

Intro:
             

Verse 1 (Glinda):

              
I've heard it said
                                       
That people come into our lives for a reason
           /         
Bringing something we must learn.
           
And we are led 
             
To those who help us most to grow,
      
If we let them,
                          
And we help them in return.
                      (maj7)   
Well I don't know if I beleive that's true,
           (no3rd)/
But I know I'm who I am today
        /        Bbsus            
Because I knew you...

Chorus:
                 
Like a comet pulled from orbit
  (no3rd)/ 
As it passes a sun,
                     
Like a stream that meets a boulder
  /                  
Halfway through the wood,
                                 (add2)
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
                       
But because I knew you,
                         
I have been changed for good.

   

Verse 2 (Elphaba):

        
It well may be
/        
That we will never meet again
           
In this lifetime
                  
So let me say before we part:
          
So much of me
                   
Is made of what I learned from you,
    
You'll be with me
                             
Like a handprint on my heart.
                     (maj7)  
And now whatever way our stories end,
     (no3rd)/    
I know you have re-written mine
       /        Bbsus   
By being my friend...

Chorus:
               
Like a ship blown from its mooring
    (no3rd)/ 
By a wind off the sea,
                  
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
 / 
In a distant wood,
     
Who can say
                           
If I've been changed for the better?

But
        
Because I knew you...
[Glinda]
       
Because I knew you...

[Both]
              
I have been changed for good.
