Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once?
Instead of flying off the handle!
[Cm] I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy [B] now!
[A#] I hope you're happy how you hurt your paws forever!
[B] I hope you think you're clever!
I hope you're happy!
I hope [A#] you're happy too!
I hope you're proud how [A] you would garable in submission
to feed your own ambition!
[B] So though I can't [F#] imagine how [Cm] [F] you're happy!
Right [A#] now!
Listen [E] to me!
Just say you're sorry!
You can still [A] be [B] with the wizard
What you've [A] worked and waited [E] for
You [C#m] can have all you ever [G#m] I know
But I [E] don't want it
No
I [F#] can't want it
[G#m] [C#] Anymore
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Someone [F#] else's game
Too late [C#] for second guessing
[F#] Too late to [C#] go back to sleep
[D#m] It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
[G#] And leap
It's time [A#m] to try [C#]
[G#] defying gravity
I think [A#m] I'll try [C#]
defying [G#] gravity
And you can't [C#] pull me down
[F#]
Can't I make [C#] you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur
I'm through [G#] accepting [C#] limits
Cause someone said they're so
Some things I cannot change
But [F#] till I try I'll never know
Too [C#] long I've been [F#] afraid of
Losing [C#] love I guess I've [D#m] lost
Well [C#] if that's love
You've come that much too [G#] high up
[A#m] I'm through defying [C#] [G#] gravity
Kiss me darling [C#] [G#] gravity
And you can't pull [B] me down
[F#] [B] Glimmer, come with me
Think of what we could do
Together
[D#]
Unlimited
Together [D#m] we're [C#] unlimited
[F#] Together we'll be the [A#] greatest team
There's ever been
[Bm] Glinda
[F#] Dream is the [B] way we plan them
[F#] If we work in [B] tandem
[A] There's no fight we [D] cannot [Bm] win
[D] Just [A#m] try [F#] defying [G#] gravity
With you [A#m] and I
[F#] [G#] Defying gravity
They'll never bring us [C#]
down
Well, are you [A] coming?
[Dm] [C#] I hope you're happy
[Cm] Now that you're choosing this You [B] too
I hope it brings you [A#] bliss
I really hope you get it
And you [B] don't live to regret [Dm] it
[C] I hope you're happy [G] in the end
[G] [C#m] I hope [F#] you're happy
[C] My [B] friend
[C#]
So if you're scared of me
Look to the western skies
As someone [G#] told me lately
[D#m] Everyone [C#] deserves a [A#m] chance to [F#] fly
And [C#] if I'm flying [F#] solo
[C#] At least I'm flying [D#m] free
Sit up [C#] to ground me
Take a message back [G#] from me
Tell them [A#m] how I [F#] am defying [G#] gravity
I'm flying [A#m]
defying [G#] gravity
And soon I'll match them in [A#m] real [F#m] life
[A#] Nobody [G#] in all of [D#] us
No wizard that there is or [F#m] was
Is ever [C#] gonna bring [A#] us
They'll never [A#m] bring us down
[D] [Em]
[C#]
Instead of flying off the handle!
