Lyrics
Some thing has (Gsus2)changed with in me
some thing is (Gsus2)not the same
I’m through with (Gsus2)play ing by the (Gsus2)rules of some one (Csus2)else ’s game.
Too late for (Dsus)sec ond guess ing, too late to go (D5)back to sleep
It’s time to (G)trust my in stincts, (Gsus2)close my eyes and (Asus)leap…
It’s time to try
de (Gsus2)fy
ing (Asus)grav i ty
I think I’ll try
de (Gsus2)fy
ing (Asus)grav i ty, and you can’t pull me (D5)down.
I’m through ac (Gsus2)cept ing (A)lim its ’cause some one (Gsus2)says they’re (Dsus2)so.
Some (A)things (D)I (Gsus2)can not (A)change, but (Gsus2)’til I try, I’ll (Csus2)nev er know
Too long I’ve (Dsus)been a fraid of (Csus2)los ing love I (D5)guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s (G)love, it comes at (Gsus2)much too high a (Asus)cost…
I’d soon er buy
de (Gsus2)fy
ing (Asus)grav i ty
Kiss me good bye,
I’m de (Gsus2)fy ing (Asus)grav i ty, and (A7sus)you can’t pull me (Bb)down.
Un lim it ed…
My (C)fu ture is
un lim it (F)ed.
And I’ve just had a (Am11)vi sion al most like a proph e (Dm7)cy,
(Csus)I (Bbm)know— (F)It sounds tru ly (Bb)cra zy, and (C7sus)true, the vi sion’s ha zy… (Ab)But I (Abmaj7)swear some (Ab6)day I’ll (Dbmaj7)be
up in the sky,
de (Fsus2)fy
ing (Gsus)grav i ty
Fly ing so high,
de (Fsus2)fy
ing (G7sus)grav i ty, They’ll nev er pull me (C5)down…
So if you (Gsus2)care to find me, look to the (A)west ern sky
As (A)some (D)one (Gsus2)told me (A)late ly: (Em)Ev ’ry (Em)one de (D)serves the chance to (Csus2)fly!
And if I’m (D5)fly ing so lo, at least I’m (D5)fly ing free
To those who’d (G)ground me, take a (Gsus2)mes sage back from (Asus)me…
Tell them (A)how I

And (Asus)no bod y in (A7sus)all of Oz, no (Am7)Wiz ard that there (A9sus)is or was is (E)ev er gon na (A7sus)bring me (D5)down…
(D)Ah!
