Grovel in submission to

Feed your own ambition

        D#
Elphie, listen to me

Just say you're sorry
        D#       G#       Bb
You can still be with the Wizard

No, I can't want it a--nymore
 
 
[Verse 1]
C              F
 Something has changed within mе
C             F
 Something is not the same
C                 F
 I’m through with playing by
    C                Bb
The rules of someone else's game
                    C
Too late for second-guessing
Bb             C
Too late to go back to sleep
     F       C
It's time to trust my instincts
F                  Gsus4 G
Close my eyes, and leap
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am    F     G
It's time to try defying gravity
             Am    F     G
I think I’ll try defying gravity
                      C
And you can't pull me down
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                     C
Can't I make you understand
                F
You're having delusions of grandeur?
C             F       G
I'm through accepting limits
C              F               C
'Cause someone says they're so
              F      G
Some things I cannot change
     C/E   F         Bb
But 'til I try, I'll never know
              C
Too long I've been afraid of
Bb             C
Losing love, I guess I've lost
Dm                C/E
  Well, if that's love
            F               Gsus4 G
It comes at much too high a cost
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am    F     G
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
          Am         F       G
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
                     Bb
And you can't pull me down

  C       Dm      Bb C F
Together, we're unli-mited
               Bb              Am       
Together we'll be the greatest team 
             Dm    Bbm
There's ever been, Glinda
F/A               Bb
Dreams the way we planned 'em
F             Bb
If we work in tandem
G#                  C#
There's no fight we cannot win
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am  F     G
Just you and I defying gravity
             Am  F     G
With you and I defying gravity
                       C    F D# F C/E F
They'll never bring us down
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Dm/A    Bb C
Are you coming?
 
I hope you're happy
Bm
Now that you're choosing this
 
You, too
Bb
  I hope it brings you bliss
  A
I really hope you get it
        Bb
And you don't live to regret it
B                          F#
I hope you're happy in the end
Cm              F         Bb     D#
  I hope you're happy, my friend
C
No, leave her alone!
    F
She hasn't done anything wrong
 
I'm the one you want
 
I'm the one you want
 
It's me
 
It's me
 
 
[Verse 4]
C          F             C
 So if you care to find me
            F           C
Look to the western sky
           F       G
As someone told me lately
F     Dm    C/E        C         Bb
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
           C
And if I'm flying solo
Bb              C
  At least, I'm flying free
Dm               C/E
  To those who'd ground me
       F                 G  Gm
Take a message back from me
 
 
[Chorus]
              Am    F     G
Tell them how I'm defying gravity
           Am      F     G
I'm flying high, defying gravity
                               Am   Fm/Bb Fm
And soon, I'll match them in renown

No wizard that there is or was
   Fm         C     G  Am
Is ever gonna bring me down
 
I hope you're happy
 
Look at her! She's wicked!
 
Get her!
                  Am
No one mourns the wicked

So we've got to bring her
