For a Fmaj9rea- son
F6/9 Bringing C/Esomething Fsus2we must Glearn
And C/Ewe are Fmaj9led
F6/9 To those who Em7help us most to grow
If we Am7let them
And we D/F#help them in Gsusre- turn G

Bb Like a C/Eco-met pulled Fsus2from orbit
Fmaj7(no3)/Bb C
As it pas- - - - - ses a sun
Like a C/Estream that meets C/Fa boulder
Bbsus2 Fsus2/A G G/F
Half- way through the wood
C/E Who can Dm7say
Em7 Am(add2)
If I’ve been changed for the bet- - -ter
But Fsus2 because C/EI knew you F5
C/E Dm7I havC/Fe been G5changed for Cgood C/F
Elphaba:

That we will Cnever meet again
EmIn this Fmaj9life- time
F6/9 So let me C/Esay beforFsus2e we part
G So C/Emuch ofFmaj9 me F6/9
Is made of Em7what I learned from you
You??Am7?ll be with me
Like a D/F#hand-print on my Gsusheart G
C/E And now Fsus2 whatever way
Fm(maj7) Am

Like a C/Eseed dropped byC/F a sky-bird
Bb(add9) F6/A G G/F
In a dis- - tant wood

Both:
Ebmaj7(no3)/Ab
And none of it seems
Fm7(add4) Fm7/Bb Bb

(*NOTE ON THE FOLLOWING CHORUS:
These two parts- Elphaba’s & Glinda’s- are sung at the same time, in a round-like
Here’s how it looks, without the chords (Glinda is lines 1 & 3, Elphaba is lines 2 & 4):
Like a comet pulled from or- -bit As it pas- ses a sun
Like a ship blown from its moor-ing By a wind off the
Like a steam that meets a boul- -der Halfway through the wood
Sea Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
So basically, Elphaba starts on the word “pulled” in Glinda’s verse. Listen to the
for help.*)
