_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The trouble with schools is [Dbm] they always try to teach [Ab] the wrong lesson
_ _ [Eb] _
[Fm] Believe me, I've been [Ab] kicked out of enough of them [Fm] to know
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] They want you to become less callow, less shallow
[Fm] But I say [Eb] why invite [Dbm] stressing?
_ _ [Ab] Stop studying strife [A] _ and [Bb] learn [Bbm] to live the _ unexamined _ _ [F] life
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ Dancing through life, [Am] skimming the surface
[Bb] Gliding where [C] turf is smooth
[G] _ _ [Bbm] Life's [Eb] more painless [Am] for the [Dm] brainless
[Db] Why think too hard [Eb] when it's so soothing?
[F] Dancing through life, [Am] no need to tough it
[Bb] When you can [C] slough it [Am] off as I do
[Bb] Nothing matters, but [Dm] knowing nothing matters
[Bb] It's just [G] life, so keep [F] dancing through
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] Dancing through [Am] life, _ [C] swaying the sweeping
[Bb] And [C] always keeping _ [Dm] cool
_ [Bbm] Life [Eb] is fraudless [Am] when [Dm] you're thoughtless
[Db] Those who don't try [C] never look [G] foolish
Dancing through life, [Am] _ mindless and careless
[Bb] Make sure [C] you're aware less trouble [Dm] is [Bb] right
Woes [Cm] are fleeting, blows [Dm] are glancing
[Bb] When you're [G] dancing _ through _ life
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
So, [Am] what's the most swankified [B] place in town?
[F] That would be the Oz Dust Ballroom [G] Sounds perfect!
_ [Cm] _
Let's go down to the Oz Dust [Fm] Ballroom
We'll meet there later tonight
We [Bb] _
can dance till it glides
_ [Eb] Find the prettiest girl [D] in her [G] world
_ [Cm] Right on [Cm] down to the Oz Dust Ballroom
_ [Fm] _
Come on, follow _ me
[E] _ You'll be [Eb] happy to be [C] here
_ [F] Dancing through _ life, dancing through
Only _ [Bb] _
[F] because [Am] stuff is what we come [Dm] to
[Bb] Nothing _
[Cm] matters, but [Dm] knowing nothing [F] matters
It's just _ _ life, _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [G] so keep [D] dancing through
_ _ _ _ _ Miss Galinda, I hope you'll save at [Gbm] least one dance for me
I'll be right there waiting all night
[Gbm] Oh, that's so kind
But you know [D] what would be even kinder?
_ [Gbm] _ _ _ See that tragically beautiful [Bm] girl
The one in the chair
[E] It seems so unfair
[A] We should go on a spree
[Db] And not she, gee
I know someone would be my [G] hero
If that someone were _
[Bb] To go invite her
_ Well, maybe I could [A] invite her
_ Oh, big, really? _
You would do that?
_ _ _ I would do [Bb] anything for you, Miss Galinda _ _ _
[A] So_
So I'll [A] be picking you up around [D] eight? After [Gbm] all_
_ [D] Now that we've met one [Ab] another
_ It's clear we deserve [Dbm] each _ other [G] _ You're perfect
[D] So we're perfect together
[Bb] _ Born to be forever
[Eb] Dancing through life
[Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [G] _ Oh, Elphaba, isn't it wonderful? _ _ _ _ _
Finally for this one night
[C] I'm about to have a fun night
[D] With this munchkin boy
Galinda [G] found for me
[D] And I [Em] only wish [Bm] there were
[C] Something I could do [Em] for her
[A] To repay her Elphaba, _ [Dm] see
_ _ [D] We deserve [Em] each other
And [C] [D] Galinda helped it come [E] true
[C] We [Em] deserve each other
[C] Me and Bach
Please, [D] Elphaba, try to understand I [A] do _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Melissa, [G] Nessa and I were talking about you just [A] now
And I was just talking [D] about you

A [C] reason why, well
Why I asked you [F] here tonight
[C] Now [Dm] I know it isn't [Am] fair
Oh, Bach, I know why You do?
It's [C] because I'm in this chair
And you [G] felt sorry for me
_ [G] Well, [Cm] isn't that right?
No, no, it's because, uh, because
_ [Bb] Because you are so beautiful
[Dm] Oh, Bach, I think you're wonderful
[Bb] And we deserve [Dm] each other
Don't you see [C] this is our [Dm] chance?
