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.
Fsus2 Fm(maj7) Am/E
Well I don't know if I beleive that's true,
Ab Ebmaj7(no3rd)/Ab
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Chorus:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
Fmaj7(no3rd)/Bb C
As it passes a sun,
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood,
Dm7 Em7 Am(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.
Fsus2 Fm(maj7) Am
And now whatever way our stories end,
Ab Ebmaj7(no3rd)/Ab Ab
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Chorus:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
Fmaj9(no3rd)/Bb C
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.
