Verse 1
 
4       -3      4     6             4   -3  -2
Something has changed within me
 4       -3      4  -3’’  -2  -2
Something is not the same
 4    -3          4      6    4    -3  -2  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     -2   2       4
Too late for second-guessing
 -5    -5   -5  5   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     6
Close my eyes and leap!
 
Chorus
6   6      8  7    5    6    4 -4 -4
It's time to try defying gravity
 6   6    8  7    5    6    4 -4 -4
I think I'll try defying gravity
 6      6    8     7     5    -5  6  7  5 -4 -4
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
 4     -5    5       -4     4     4
And you wont bring me down!
 
Verse 2
 
I'm through accepting limits
 cause someone says they're so
 Some things I cannot change
 But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
 Losing love I guess I've lost
 Well, if that's love
 It comes at much too high a cost!
 
Chorus 2,3
 
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
 Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
 I think I'll try defying gravity
 And you wont bring me down!
   
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
 Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
 I think I'll try defying gravity
 And you won't bring me down!
