Defying Gravityv2

Capo 1 to match recorded pitch

Chords:

For many of these I suggest reaching the thumb over instead of doing a barre.

Whatever is comfortable.

Also, you can substitute the standard version of these chords and it sounds fine.

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy now

I hope you're happy how you

Hurt your cause forever

I hope you think you're clever

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy too

I hope you're proud how you

Would grovel in submission

To feed your own ambition

So though I can't imagine how

I hope you're happy right now

[-5—-5-4-5----------]

(Elphie, listen to me - just say you're sorry...)

You can still be with the wizard

What you've worked and waited for

You can have all you ever wanted

(I know...) But I don't want it - No - I can't want it anymore

Something has changed within me

C F*

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you can't pull me down

Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?

C F*

I'm through accepting limits

C F*

'Cause someone says they're so

C F*

Some things I cannot change

But 'till I try, I'll never know

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love - I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

F*

And you can't pull me down...

Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together.

Unlimited

Together we're unlimited

Together we'll be the greatest team

There's ever been, Glinda,

Dreams the way we planned them

If we work in tandem

Bbsus2/F C#maj7 (Bbsus2/F)

There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I

Defying gravity

With you and I

Defying gravity

F*

They'll never bring us down

G# (with fill from above 1/2 step down)

(Well? Are you coming?)

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

(You too)- I hope it brings you bliss

I really hope you get it

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy, my friend

So if you care to find me

F* (F)

Look to the western sky

As someone told me lately

Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I

Am defying gravity!

I'm flying high

Defying gravity!

Am F*

And soon I'll match them in renown

C F*

And nobody in all of Oz

C F*

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down! (I hope you're happy)

[Look at her she's wicked! Get her!]

Bring me down!

[No one mourns the wicked]

[So we've got to bring her down!]
