Defying Gravity, from “Wicked”
Tabbed by Robin Young
INTRO:
Db5 – Ab/Eb – Db/F – Gbsus2 (2x)
Db5 Gbsus2
Something has changed within me
Db5 Gbsus2
Something is not the same
Db5 Gbsus2 Db/F Gbsus2 Cbsus2
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game
Dbsus Db
Too late for second guessing
Cbsus2 Dbsus Db
Too late to go back to sleep
Gb5/Eb Gb5/F
It’s time to trust my instincts
Db/Gb Absus
Close my eyes … and leap
Ab Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
It’s time to try defying gravity
Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
I think I’ll try defying gravity
Db5 Ab/Eb Db/F Gbsus2
And you can’t pull me down
Db5 – Ab/Eb – Db/F – Gbsus2
Db5 Ab/Eb Db/F Gbsus2 Ab(add4)
I’m through ac- cepting limits
Db5 Ab/Eb Db/F Gbsus2 Dbsus2
‘Cause some- one says they’re so
Db5 Ab/Eb Db/F Gbsus2 Ab(add4)
Some things I cannot change
Db/F Gbsus2 Cbsus2
But till I try, I’ll never know
Db5 Dbsus Db
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Cbsus2 Db5
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Gb5/Eb Gb5/F
Well, if that’s love
Db/Gb Absus
It comes at much too high a cost
Ab Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
I’d sooner buy defy- ing gravity
Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defy- ing gravity
Ab7sus Amaj9(#11)
And you can’t pull me down
Unlimited
B6(add4)
My future is unlimited
C#m9 Amaj9(#11) B6(add4) Emaj7
Un- li- mi- ted
Amaj9(#11) G#m11 C#m11
And I’ve just had a vision almost like a prophecy
Bsus/A Am6 E/G# A(add9)
I know it sounds truly crazy
E/B B9sus
And true, the vision’s hazy
G(add9) Gmaj7 G6 Cmaj9 C6 Cmaj7 G#m7(no5)
But I swear, someday I’ll be up in the sky
Esus2 F#sus
Defy- ing gravity
G#m7(no5) Esus2 F#sus
Flying so high, defy- ing gravity
F#7sus B5 – F#/C# - B/D# - Esus2
They’ll never pull me down
Db5 – Ab/Eb – Db/F – Gbsus2
Db5 Gbsus2
So if you care to find me
Db5 Gbsus2 Ab
Look to the western sky
Db5 Ab/Eb Db/F Gbsus2 Ab(add4)
As some- one told me lately
Ebm/Gb Ebm Db/F Db Cbsus2
Every- one deserves the chance to fly
Db5 Dbsus Db
And if I’m fly- ing solo
Cbsus2 Db5
At least I’m flying free
Gb5/Eb Gb5/F
To those who ground me
Db/Gb Absus
Take a message back from me
Ab Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
Tell them how I am de- fy- ing gravity
Bbm7(no5) Gbsus2 Absus
I’m flying high, de- fy- ing gravity
Ebm/F Fm7 Bbm Gbm/A
And soon I’ll match them in re- known
Absus/Gb Ab7sus/F
And nobody in all of Oz
Abm7/Eb Abm7(add4)/Eb Ab9sus/Db Gb(add9)/Db
No wizard that there is or was
Gbm(add9)/A Ebm7(B5)/Gb Absus Ab7sus Db5 – Ab(add4) – Db/F
Is ever gonna bring … me down
Gbsus2 – Db/F – Cb(add2)/Bb – Gb/Cb
Db
Oh
