– – – verse 1

C#5 F#sus2
something has changed within me
C#5 F#sus2
something is not the same
C# F#sus2 C#/F
i’m through with playing by the rules
F#sus2 Cbsus2
of someone else’s game
C#sus C#
too late for second – guessing
Cbsus2 C#sus C#
too late to go back to sleep
F#5/D# F#5/F
it’s time to trust my instincts
C# G#sus G#
close my eyes and leap

– – – chorus 1

A#m7
it’s time to try
F#sus2 G#sus
defying gravity
A#m7
i think i’ll try
F#sus2 G#sus
defying gravity
C#
and you can’t pull me down

C#5 F#sus2
i’m through accepting limits
C#5 F#sus2 C#sus2
’cuz someone says they’re so
C#5 F#sus2
some things i cannot change
C#5/F F#sus2 Cbsus2
but ’till i try , i’ll never know

too long i’ve been afraid of
Cbsus2 C#
losing love – i guess i have lost

well , if that’s love
C#/F# G#sus G#
it comes at much too high a cost
