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