Defying Gravity

Tom: D

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                   D9
Too late for second-guessing
C                      D9
Too late to go back to sleep
C            Bm7
It's time to trust my instincts
G                 A9 (start strumming) A
Close my eyes and leap

---CHORUS 1

             Bm7
It's time to try
  G       A9
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
D9        G            A9
'Cuz someone says they're so
D             G
Some things I cannot change
     D9            C     A9
But 'till I try, I'll never know
C                  D9
Too long I've been afraid of
C               D
Losing love - I guess I have lost
G               D9
Well, if that's love
            C               A
It comes at much too high a cost

---CHORUS 2

           Bm7
I'd sooner buy
   G      A9
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       A9
Am defying gravity
           D9
I'm flying high
  G       A
Defying gravity
              Bm7
Tell them how I
     G       A9
Am defying gravity
                      D (slow down stroke)
And you can't pull me down
