The Wizard And I

Did that really just (C)happen?

Have I (Fm)actually (C)understood?

This weird (Ab)quirk I've tried to (C)suppress or hide is a (Fm)talent that could (Ab7)help me meet the (Dbmaj9)(Bbm7)Wizard if (Eb)I make (Cm7)good!

(Gb)So I'll make (C)good...

(C)When I (Dm)meet the (G7sus)(G)Wizard,

(C)once I (Dm)prove my (G7sus)(G)worth,

(C)and then I meet the (Am7)Wizard,

what I've (Dm7)waited for since- (Gsus)since birth!

And with (C)all his (Dm)Wizard (G7sus)wisdom,

(G)by my (C)looks, he won't be (Em)blinded...

Do you (Bbmaj7)think the Wizard is (C)dumb?

Or like (Bbmaj7)Munchkins, so (Gsus)smallminded?

(G)He'll (Am7)say to me, (Dm7)"I see who (G)you truly (C)are:

A (Am7)girl on whom (Dm7)I can (Gsus)rely!"

(G)And (C)that's (Dm7)how (C)we'll (Fsus)begin, the (F)Wizard and (C)(Dm7)I...

(C)Once I'm (Dm7)with the (G7sus)Wizard,

(C)my whole (Dm7)life will (G7sus)(G7)change.

(C)'Cause once you're with the (Am7)Wizard,

(Dm7)no one thinks you're (G7sus)strange.

No (C)father is (Dm7)not proud (G7sus)of you,

(G)no (C)sister acts (Em)ashamed, and (Bbmaj7)all of Oz has to (Csus2)love you (F)when (C)by the (Bbmaj7)Wizard you're (G7sus)acclaimed.

(G7)And this (Am7)gift or this (Dm7)curse (G)I have (C)inside,

(Am7)maybe at (Dm7)last I'll know (G7sus)why,

(G)as (C)we (Dm7)work (C)hand in (Fsus)hand,

the (F)Wizard and (Amaj7)I!

And (Dmaj7)one day, he'll say to me,

(C#m11)"Elphaba, a (Dmaj7)girl who is so (C#m11)superior- (Fmaj7)shouldn't a girl who's so (Em7)good (Dm7)inside have a matching (Em7)exterior?

And since (Cm7)folks here, (Bb)to an (F)absurd (Bb)degree,

seem (Cm7)(Bb)fixated on (F)your (Bb)verdigris, would (Db)it be all right by (C)you if (Bbm7)I (Csus)degreenify you?"

(C)And (Am7)though of course (Dm7)that's not (G)important to (C)me,

(Am7)"All right, why (Dm7)not?"

I'll (Gsus)reply.

(G)Oh, (C)what (Dm7)a (C)pair we'll (Fsus)be,

the (F)Wizard and (Am7)(Dm7)I!

(C)What (Dm7)a (C)pair we'll (F)be, the Wizard (Bbmaj9)and...

Unlimited, my future is (Bbmaj7)(Csus)(F)unlimited...

And I've just had a (Bbmaj9)vision almost (Am7)like a (Dm7)prophecy- (Gdim)I know,

(F)it sounds truly (C9sus)crazy, and (F)true,

the vision's (C9sus)hazy, (Ab)but I (Abmaj7)swear,

(Ab6)someday there'll (Dbmaj7)be a (F)celebration (E)throughout Oz that's (Bb)all to do with (A7sus)me!
