Intro: 
Em C G D (x2)

Verse 1: Aaron Tveit

G             G/C
Something has changed within me,
G/B          Em      D
Something is not the same.
Cadd9            G       /D#
I'm through with playing by the
Em    D          Cadd9
rules of someone else's game.
C            C/B
Too late for second-guessing
C                      C/B
Too late to go back to sleep
C            C/B 
It's time to trust my instincts
Am       C/B         D
Close my eyes... and leap!


Chorus: Both
            
             Em
It's time to try
  C     D
Defying gravity
             Em
I think I'll try
  C     D
Defying gravity
                      Em
And you can't pull me down!

Verse 2: Rachel Tucker

C           F         
I'm through accepting limits
C/E            Am          G   
'cause someone says they're so
F             C      /G#
Some things I cannot change
Am         G         F
But till I try, I'll never know!
F             C/E
Too long I've been afraid of
F             C/E
Losing love I guess I've lost
F               C/E
Well, if that's love
            Dm              G
It comes at much too high a cost!

Chorus: Both

           Am
I'd sooner buy
  F     G
Defying gravity
            Am
Kiss me goodbye
      F     G
I'm defying gravity
                      Am  F
And you can't pull me down,
C    G           Am F C G
Oooooooo pull me down.

Bridge: Aaron

Am        F  
Unlimited
         G               
Together we're unlimited
               Am              G               
Together we'll be the greatest team
             F     C/E
There's ever been, Glinda.
Dm            
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

Rachel:
C/E
If we work in tandem,

Both:
D#
There's no fight we cannot win
             Em
Just you and I.

Chorus: Both
  C     G
Defying gravity
             Em
With you and I
  C     G
Defying gravity
        D              D
They'll never bring us down.

Verse 3: Both

A         D
So if you care to find me,
A           D
Look to the western sky!
A          D       Em
As someone told me lately:
D     D/B      A/C#              G
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
           A
And if I'm flying solo
G            A
At least I'm flying free
B              C#m
To those who'd ground me
       D                 E
Take a message back from me

Chorus: Both
              F#m
Tell them how I am
  D     E
Defying gravity
           F#m
I'm flying high
  D     E    
Defying gravity
              C#m           F#m*   /Fm*
And soon I'll match them in renown!
    D         D/C#
And nobody in all of Oz
   D/B               D/C#
No Wizard that there is or was
   Fm*        E        F#m D A E
Is ever gonna bring me down,
         F#m D A E
Bring me down.
