[Intro] Bm G A
[Chorus]
Bm Bm
My flesh will melt away
Bm
Green skin runs thin with age
G
My broom my sweeping hurricane
A
And big house red, upon your head
Bm
From the blood and the bone and the rain
Bm Bm
My flesh is painted gray
Bm
Green skin down in the clay
G
No wicked wind, no hurricane
A
No magic spell or wishing well
F#m
Can pick you from the grave
[Verse]
F#m
I don't love it like you do
A
I don't see the point in wasting life away
E
Doldrums in my brain
F#m
That's my other half that's you (other half that's you)
F#m
It ain't fair of you to say
A E
Evil is as beauty in the eyes of those outside
G
But who are they
G
Who are they
A
Who are?
[Chorus]
Bm Bm
My flesh will melt away
Bm
Green skin runs thin with age
G
My broom my sweeping hurricane
A
And big house red, upon your head
Bm
From the blood and the bone and the rain
Bm Bm
My flesh is painted gray
Bm
Green skin down in the clay
G
No wicked wind, no hurricane
A
No magic spell or wishing well
F#m
Can pick you from the grave
[Verse]
F#m
What's gonna take it all away?
A
Whats gonna make you less like you
E
Dress you down in blue
F#m
That's your other half that's me (other half that's me)
F#m
You know I think it's safe to say
A
The longer you don't keep it down
E
The less your heart will break
G
When I get out
G
When I get out
A
When I get
[Chorus]

My broom my sweeping hurricane

And big house red, upon your head

Can pick you from the grave
[Bridge]
Bm A G A
Bm
Oh yeah the fist's as hard as I am
Bm
And it's rolling through the days
A
Rounding out the things that kept you in
A
This technicolor place
G
No more living for the minute
G
No more hiding your disgrace
A
It's about time that you showed 'em
A
What green skin can do for faith
Bm
You're a lion! You're a tiger!
Bm
You're a bearing down the straight
A
And if God or Oz could stop you
A
Would it matter anyway?
G
Cause home is where you're going
G
Where that is though hard to say
A
It's about time that you showed 'em
A
What green skin can do for faith
Bm
Oh you!
A
I guess you win again
G
For I had not the strength
A
To join you in the end
Bm
Forgive me Elphaba
