C F C So if you care to find me F C Look to the western sky F G As someone told me lately F Dm C/E C Bb 'Everyone deserves the chance to fly' C And if I'm flying solo Bb C At least, I'm flying free Dm C/E To those who'd ground me F G Gm Take a message back from me
Am F G Tell them how I'm defying gravity Am F G I'm flying high, defying gravity Am Fm/Bb Fm And soon, I'll match them in renown
Final Bm G#m Bm F Unlimited G Unlimited Bb Bb/G# Unlimited F C And nobody in all of Oz Gm C No wizard that there is or was Fm C G Am Is ever gonna bring me down I hope you're happy Look at her! She's wicked! Get her! Am No one mourns the wicked (Bring me down) F D# C# B So we've got to bring her Oh C F Down C Down C Woah
