---VERSE 1 (hold each chord)

D5             G5
Something has changed within me
D5            G5
Something is not the same
D5                G5              D5
I'm through with playing by the rules
   G5       C5
Of someone else's game
C5                   D5
Too late for second-guessing
C5                      D5
Too late to go back to sleep
C5            B5
It's time to trust my instincts
G5                 A5 (start strumming) A5
Close my eyes and leap

---CHORUS 1

             B5
It's time to try
  G5       A5
Defying gravity
             B5
I think I'll try
  G5       A5
Defying gravity
                      D5
And you can't pull me down

---VERSE 2

D5             G5
I'm through accepting limits
D5        G5            A5
'Cuz someone says they're so
D5             G5
Some things I cannot change
     D5            C5     A5
But 'till I try, I'll never know
C5                  D5
Too long I've been afraid of
C5               D5
Losing love - I guess I have lost
G5               D5
Well, if that's love
            C5               A5
It comes at much too high a cost

---CHORUS 2

           B5
I'd sooner buy
   G5      A5
Defying gravity
            B5
Kiss me goodbye
      G5       A5
I'm defying gravity
                      D5
And you can't pull me down

---(transition)

C5          G5
And if I'm flying solo
C5            D5
At least I'm flying free
C5              G5
To those who'd ground me
       C5                 A5
Take a message back from me -

---REPEAT CHORUS/OUTRO

              B5
Tell them how I
     G5       A5
Am defying gravity
           D5
I'm flying high
  G5       A5
Defying gravity
              B5
Tell them how I
     G5       A5
Am defying gravity
                      D (slow down stroke)
And you can't pull me down
