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)Wizard

(Eb)if I make (Cm7)good!

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

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

(C)Once I (Dm)prove my (G7sus)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 (G)smallminded?

No! He'll (Dm7)say to me:

"I see who (C)you truly are:

A (Dm7)girl on whom 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)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 (C)love you,

when by the (Bbmaj7)Wizard you're (G7sus)acclaimed.

(G7)And this (Dm7)gift or this curse

(C)I have inside,

(Dm7)Maybe at 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 inside

(Dm7)have a matching (Em7)exterior?

And since (Bb)folks here to an absurd degree seem fixated on your verdigris,

Would (Db)it be all right by (C)you,

if (Bbm7)I (C)degreenify you?"

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

(Dm7)"All right, why not?"

I'll (Gsus)reply.
