Defying Gravity (feat. Ariana Grande)

	  		

 
Intro 

Elphaba 
  
Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once 
  
Instead of flying off the handle? 
C 
 I hope you’re happy 
Bm 
  I hope you're happy now 
Bb                               A 
  I hope you're happy how you’ve hurt your cause forever 
  Bb 
I hope you think you're clever 
  B 
I hope you're happy 
  Bb 
I hope you're happy too 
A 
I hope you're proud how you would 
G#                      A 
Grovel in submission to feed your own ambition 
   Bb                     F 
So though I can't imagine how 
  Bm7         E           A   D 
I hope you're happy right now 
        D# 
Elphie, listen to me 
     G# 
Just say you're sorry 
        D#       G#       Bb 
You can still be with the Wizard 
            D#         G#     Bb 
What you’ve worked and waited for 
        Cm                Gm7 
You can have all you ever wantеd 
  
I know 
            G# 
But I don’t want it 
            Fm      Bb Gm C   F 
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                  G4    G 
Close my eyes, and leap 



             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               G4    G 
It comes at much too high a cost 



           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 


Bridge:

Come with me 
         F 
Think of what we could do together 
  F 
Unlimited 
  C       Dm      Bb C F 
Together, we're unli-mited 
               Bb              Am                Dm    Bbm 
Together we'll be the greatest team 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 



             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 



              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

I hope you're happy 

Look at her! She's wicked! 

Get her! 
                  Am 
No one mourns the wicked (Bring me down)

So we've got to bring her
