Edit

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
