VERSE 1


4 -3 4 6 4 -3 3 Something has changed within me 4 -3 4 -3 3 3 Something is not the same 4 -3 4 6 4 -3 3 7 I'm through with playing by the rules -7 6 4 4 -4 -4 4 Of someone else's game -5 -5 5 4 3 2 4 Too late for second guessing -5 -5 5 4 4 -6 6 Too late to go back to sleep -5 -5 5 -4 4 4 3 It's time to trust my instincts -5 5 -4 4 4 6 Close my eyes and leap!




6   6   -8  7  5 6 4  5 -4 -4
It’s time to try defying gravity


6   6    -8   7   5 6 7  5 -4 -4
I think I’ll try defying gravity 


4    -5   5    -4   4  4
And you can’t pull me down



VERSE 2

6   -5      5 5 4    4 3
I’m through accepting limits


 4    -3 4   -3    3     3
Cuz someone says they’re so


 4  -3     4  6  4   -3
Somethings I cannot change


 3    7   7  6   4   4 -4  -4 4
But till’ I try I’ll never know 


-5   -5   5    4    3  2  3
Too long I’ve been afraid of


-5  -5  5   4  4     -6   6
Losing love I guess I’ve lost


 4   -5   -5    5
Well if that’s love

4   4   -4 -5   5-4 4 4  6
It comes at much too high a cost 


6    6 -8   7   5 6 4   5 -4 -4
I’d sooner buy defying gravity 


6    6  -8-9  7  5  6 6 7  5 -4 -4
Kiss me good bye I’m defying gravity 


4   -5   5    6    -6  4
And you can’t pull me down



VERSE 3

4 -5 5 4
Unlimited  


4   5 -5  6  4 -6 6 4
My future is unlimited


4   5  -5  -5  6  6 -6  
And I just had a vision


-5 5   -5  6-5 5 -5  6  -5   
Almost like a prophecy, I know


4    4     4 5  -4 4           
It sounds truly crazy


4   4    4   4 -6   6 -5 
And true the visions hazy


4  4   4   -6 6  -5   5
But I swear someday I’ll be


4  5  -8  7  5 6 4   5 -4 -4
Up in the sky defying gravity


6  6   -8   7  5 6 7  5 -4 -4
Flying so high defying gravity 


 4      -5 5   -4  4   4    
They’ll never pull me down



VERSE 4



7  7  7   7   7  -8  7
So if you care to find me


8    7  -6  7 -8  -6 6
Look to the western sky


7   -7 7   9    7   -7 6
As someone told me lately 


-8 7 5   -6  -6   6  4     5   7
Everyone deserves a chance to fly

 
-5  -5  5  -5  5  -4 4
And if I’m flying solo


-5  -5   5   4-6   6
At least I’m flying free


-5  -5    5     -4    4
To those who’d ground me


-5   5  -4  4  3   4   6
Take a message back from me


6  6   -5  75  6 6 4  5 -4 -4
Tell them how I am defying gravity


6   6  -8  7    5 6 4  5 -4 -4
I'm flying high defying gravity


4   4     5   -5    5   -4  4 4
And soon I’ll match them in renown


4  -5 5 4 4  -5  5  4
And nobody in all of Oz


4   -5 5   4    4    -5 -6  4
No wizard that there is or was


4-5 5-4 4  -4     -6     7
Is ever gonna bring meeeeee down


7 8 -8 8 -8 7
Ahahahahahah
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
