[Content]
Note: this version was made from my recordings of Idina Menzel's live
performances over the past few years, so it's different from the obc recording.
---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   
And you can't pull me down
