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

Kiss me good bye,

I’m de (Gsus2)fy ing (Asus)grav i ty, and (A7sus)you can’t pull me (Bb)down.

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
