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.

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

        Eb        Ebsus2    Bb
You can still be with the wizard
            Eb         Ebsus2 Bb
What you've worked and waited for
         Eb                 Bb
You can have all you ever wanted

                              Ebsus2           Bb         C
(I know...) But I don't want it - No - I can't want it anymore

C             F9
Something has changed within me
C            F*
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
     Bb       C
It's time to trust my instincts
F                 G
Close my eyes and leap

             Am
It's time to try
F       G
Defying gravity
             Am
I think I'll try
F       G
Defying gravity
                       C  C* F  F*
And you can't pull me down

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

C             F*
I'm through accepting limits

'Cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love - I guess I've lost
Bb               C
Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost 

           Am
I'd sooner buy
  F     G
Defying gravity
            Am
Kiss me goodbye
      F       G
I'm defying gravity
                      F*
And you can't pull me down...

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

Unlimited
                 F   C
Together we're unlimited
              Gm7              Em
Together we'll be the greatest team
             F     F9  F
There's ever been, Glinda,
C                 F
Dreams the way we planned them
C             F
If we work in tandem
Bbsus2/F            C#maj7  (Bbsus2/F)
There's no fight we cannot win

Just you and I

Defying gravity
            Am
With you and I
  F     G
Defying gravity

                       F*
They'll never bring us down
                       G# (with fill from above 1/2 step down)
(Well? Are you coming?)

Cmaj7
I hope you're happy
Bm
Now that you're choosing this
           Bb

  A
I really hope you get it
        Bb
And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end
Eb                      Bb     Bbsus4  C   Csus4
I hope you're happy, my friend

C
So if you care to find me
F* (F)
Look to the western sky
C          G
As someone told me lately
F          F*                   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

             Am
Tell them how I
     F     G
Am defying gravity!
           Am
I'm flying high
  F     G
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
   F          G        Am
Is ever gonna bring me down! (I hope you're happy)
                   F
[Look at her she's wicked! Get her!]
         Am
Bring me down!
[No one mourns the wicked]
           F  G  Ab    B   C
[So we've got to bring her down!]
