From the musical Wicked 
  
C                       F9 
Something has changed within me  
C                   F9 
Something is not the same 
C                       F9 
I'm through with playing by the  
C/E      F9    Bb9 
Rules of someone else's game 
Bb9          C4 
Too late for second-guessing 
Bb9              C4 
Too late to go back to sleep 
F/D              F/E 
It's time to trust my instincts 
C/F                        G9 (x2) 
Close my eyes: and leap! 
                 Am 
It's time to try 
    F9       G4 
Defying gravity 
                Am 
I think I'll try 
     F9      G4 
Defying gravity 
                                   C   D E F 
And you can't pull me down! 

Elphaba: 
C5      D5  E5   F5      G5 
I'm through accepting limits 
C5      D5  E5   F5           C5 
'Cuz someone says they're so 
C5      D5  E5   F5      G5 
Some things I cannot change 
     C/E   F4       Bb 
But till I try, I'll never know! 
Bb9            C4 
Too long I've been afraid of 
Bb9          C4 
Losing love I guess I've lost 
F/D              F/E 
Well, if that's love 
C/F                        G9 (x2) 
It comes at much too high a cost! 
  

                 Am 
I'd sooner buy 
    F4       G9 
Defying gravity 
                   Am 
Kiss me goodbye 
    F4     G9 
I'm defying gravity 
                                 Ab7M/9/11+ 
And you can't pull me down 

 Unlimited 
             Cm Bb Eb 
My future is unlimited 
                            Ab7M/9/11+   
And I've just had a vision almost  
Gm     Cm          Ab? 
like a prophecy, I know  


Eb/G                Ab 
It sounds truly crazy, 
      Eb/G               Ab 
And true, the vision's hazy 
Gb                                   B 
But some day I swear I'll be 

Up in the-  
    Gm Eb4 F9 
Sky,   Defying gravity 
                   Gm 
Flying so high 
    Eb4     F9 
I'm defying gravity 
                                Bb C D Eb    C D E F 
They'll never pull me down 


C               F9 
So if you care to find me 
C                   F9        G 
Look to the western sky! 
C    D     E     F       G 
As someone told me lately: 
Dm  Dm/F      C/A         C/E         Bb 
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!" 


Bb9        C4 
And if I'm flying solo 
Bb9         C4 
At least I'm flying free 
F/D                  F/E 
To those who'd ground me 
              C/F                     G9 (x2) 
Take a message back from me 
                    Am 
Tell them how I?m 
    F4   G9 
Defying gravity 
                 Am 
I'm flying high 
  F4       G9 
Defying gravity 
                      E                    Am   Abaug 
And soon I'll match them in renown 
         G7sus 
And nobody in all of Oz 
                                              C Bb  
No Wizard that there is or was 
        Ab   F      G9 G     
Is ever gonna bring me down! 
C D E F C/E Bb F9  C
