---VERSE 1 (hold each chord)



D             G

Something has changed within me

D            G

Something is not the same

D                G              D

I'm through with playing by the rules

   G       C

Of someone else's game

C                   Dsus2

Too late for second-guessing

C                      Dsus2

Too late to go back to sleep

C            Bm7

It's time to trust my instincts

G                 Asus2 (start strumming) A

Close my eyes and leap



---CHORUS 1



             Bm7

It's time to try

  G       Asus2

Defying gravity

             Bm7

I think I'll try

  G       A

Defying gravity

                      D

And you can't pull me down



---VERSE 2



D             G

I'm through accepting limits

Dsus2        G            Asus2

'Cuz someone says they're so

D             G

Some things I cannot change

     Dsus2            C     Asus2

But 'till I try, I'll never know

C                  Dsus2

Too long I've been afraid of

C               D

Losing love - I guess I have lost

G               Dsus2

Well, if that's love

            C               A

It comes at much too high a cost



---CHORUS 2



           Bm7

I'd sooner buy

   G      Asus2

Defying gravity

            Bm7

Kiss me goodbye

      G       A

I'm defying gravity

                      D

And you can't pull me down



---(transition)



C          G

And if I'm flying solo

C            D

At least I'm flying free

C              G

To those who'd ground me

       C                 A

Take a message back from me -



---REPEAT CHORUS/OUTRO



              Bm7

Tell them how I

     G       Asus2

Am defying gravity

           Dsus2

I'm flying high

  G       A

Defying gravity

              Bm7

Tell them how I

     G       Asus2

Am defying gravity

                      D (slow down stroke)

And you can't pull me down
