From the musical Wicked 
  
C5                       F5 
Something has changed within me  
C5                   F5 
Something is not the same 
C5                       F5 
I'm through with playing by the  
C5      F5    Bb5 
Rules of someone else's game 
Bb5          C5 
Too late for second-guessing 
Bb5              C5 
Too late to go back to sleep 
F5              F5 
It's time to trust my instincts 
C5                        G5 (x2) 
Close my eyes: and leap! 
                 A5 
It's time to try 
    F5       G5 
Defying gravity 
                A5 
I think I'll try 
     F5      G5 
Defying gravity 
                                   C5   D5 E5 F5 
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 
     C5   F5       Bb5 
But till I try, I'll never know! 
Bb5            C5 
Too long I've been afraid of 
Bb5          C5 
Losing love I guess I've lost 
F5              F5 
Well, if that's love 
C5                        G5 (x2) 
It comes at much too high a cost! 
  

                 A5 
I'd sooner buy 
    F5       G5 
Defying gravity 
                   A5 
Kiss me goodbye 
    F5     G5 
I'm defying gravity 
                                 Ab5 
And you can't pull me down 

 Unlimited 
             C5 Bb5 Eb5 
My future is unlimited 
                            Ab5   
And I've just had a vision almost  
G5     C5          Ab5 
like a prophecy, I know  


Eb5                Ab5 
It sounds truly crazy, 
      Eb5               Ab5 
And true, the vision's hazy 
Gb5                                   B5 
But some day I swear I'll be 

Up in the-  
    G5 Eb5 F5 
Sky,   Defying gravity 
                   G5 
Flying so high 
    Eb5     F5 
I'm defying gravity 
                                Bb5 C5 D5 Eb5    C5 D5 E5 F5 
They'll never pull me down 


C5               F5 
So if you care to find me 
C5                   F5        G5 
Look to the western sky! 
C5    D5     E5     F5       G5 
As someone told me lately: 
D5  D5      C5         C5         Bb5 
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!" 


Bb5        C5 
And if I'm flying solo 
Bb5         C5 
At least I'm flying free 
F5                  F5 
To those who'd ground me 
              C5                     G5 (x2) 
Take a message back from me 
                    A5 
Tell them how I?m 
    F5   G5 
Defying gravity 
                 A5 
I'm flying high 
  F5       G5 
Defying gravity 
                      E5                    A5   Abaug 
And soon I'll match them in renown 
         G5 
And nobody in all of Oz 
                                              C5 Bb5  
No Wizard that there is or was 
        Ab5   F5      G5 G5     
Is ever gonna bring me down! 
C5 D5 E5 F5 C5 Bb5 F5  C5
