[Verse 1]
(Glinda)
C/E Fmaj9 F6/9
I've heard it said
C/E Fmaj9 F6/9
That people come into our lives for a reason
C5/E Fsus2 G
Bringing something we must learn.
C/E Fmaj9 F6/9
And we are led
Em7
To those who help us most to grow,
Am7
If we let them,
D/F# C/E
And we help them in return.
Fsus2 Fmaj7 Am/E
Well I don't know if I beleive that's true,
Ab Ebmaj7/Ab
But I know I'm who I am today
Fm7 Eb/Ab Bbsus Bb
Because I knew you...
[Chorus]
C/E Fsus2
Like a comet pulled from orbit
Fmaj7/Bb C
As it passes a sun,
C/E C/F
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Bbsus2 Fsus2/A G G/F C/E
Halfway through the wood,
Dm7 Em7 Amadd2
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Fsus2 C/E F5 C/E
But because I knew you,
Dm7 C/F G5 C
I have been changed for good.
C/F G
[Verse 2]
(Elphaba)
C/E Fmaj9
It well may be
Dm7/F C
That we will never meet again
Em Fmaj9 F6/9
In this lifetime
C/E Fsus2
So let me say before we part:
C/E Fmaj9 F6/9
So much of me
Em7
Is made of what I learned from you,
Am7
You'll be with me
D/F# Gsus G C/E
Like a handprint on my heart.
Fsus2 Fmaj7 Am
And now whatever way our stories end,
Ab Ebmaj7/Ab Ab
I know you have re-written mine
Fm7 Eb/Ab Bbsus Bb
By being my friend...
[Chorus]
C/E Fsus2
Like a ship blown from its mooring
Fmaj9/Bb C
By a wind off the sea,
C/E C/F
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
Bbadd9 F6/A G
In a distant wood,
C/E Dm7
Who can say
Em7 Am7
If I've been changed for the better?
But
C/E
Because I knew you...
[Glinda]
C/E
Because I knew you...
[Both]
C/F G
I have been changed for good.
