Wicked - Dancing Through Life

[Intro]
I see that, once again,
the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to
me
    G                            Gaug
The trouble with schools is they always try to teach the
       G    Cm/G G D/F#
wrong lesson
  Em
Believe me,
          C                                 Am7 D
I've been kicked out of enough of them to know
     G
They want you to become less callow,
    Gaug
less    shallow
      Em/G       G7   C         Cm
But I say, why invite stress in?
G/D                    Ddim7
   Stop studying strife
    Am11                         E
And learn to live the unexamined life
B/D# A/C# B/D#

[Verse 1-1]
E
Dancing through life,
G#m/B
skimming the surface
A                 B      G#m7 C#m
Gliding where turf is smooth 
Am7                B   G#m             C#m
   Life's more painless   for the brainless
C                  Dsus2
Why think too hard when it's so soothing?
E
Dancing through life,
G#m/B
no   need to tough it
A/C#               B/D#    G#m7       C#m
When you can slough    it off  as I do
A
Nothing matters,
    G#m             C#m
but knowing nothing matters
Asus2
     It's just life,
B7sus4             E      B
      so keep dancing through
A C D E

[Verse 1-2]
E
Dancing through life,
G#m/B
swaying and sweeping
  A           B      G#m7 C#m
And always keeping cool  
Am7               D   G#m                   C#m
   Life is fraughtless   when you're thoughtless
C                   Dsus2
Those who don't try never look foolish
E
Dancing through life,
G#m/B
mindless and careless
A                     B        G#m7        C#m
Make sure you're where less trouble is rife
  A          B        G#m        C#m
Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing
Asus2                 Bsus4          E E/G# A A/C# Dsus2 A/C# C
     When you're dancing   through life

[Verse 1-3]
Bm

      Em

Right on   down to the Ozdust Ballroom

[Verse 1-4]
E5
Dancing through life
   A      B7/A       G#m7             C#m7
If only because dust is  what we come to  
 A      B7/A
Nothing matters,
G#m7          C#m7      Asus2
but knowing nothing matters
            E/G# Asus2 G#m7
It's just lif________e
C#m7        Dsus2
It's just life   
E5             Db
  So keep dancing through

[Interlude]
Fm/C
    Galinda
Um,
                Gb
I'll hope you'll  save a dance for me tonight
I'll be right there, waiting all night
Ab
  That's so kind
Bm7/A                                       A
     But you know what would be even kinder?

[Verse 2-1]
F#m
   See that tragically beautiful girl?
Bm
  The one in the chair
E
 It seems so unfair
          A
We should go on a spree
E7             C#7
  And not she, gee!
F#m
   I know someone would be my hero
Em7
   If that someone were
Bb
  To go invite her
Well
Asus4
     Maybe I could invite her
Oh, Biq, really?
You would do that for me?
                        Bbmaj7
I would do anything for you   
You're good!
            A
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I don't know what you mean
D
 I love helping others
F#m/C#   D
      Oh, and I happen to be free tonight,
F#m/C#
      after all

[Verse 2-2]
D                        F#m/C#
Now that we've met one another
     D                      F#m/C#
It's clear we deserve each other
       Gsus2
You're perfect
You're perfect
         D/F#          Bb/F
So we're perfect together  
Born to be forever
Eb                Bb/D
Dancing through life  

[Interlude]
Cm
Bb/D       Gm                      Cm
    You'll never guess what just happened to me
Ab                                 Gm            Cm
  That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked  me out
F
 He said he was too shy to ask me out first, but then,
          Am
Galinda emboldened him...
Wait, Galinda?
Don't
Gm                   Bb/F
  Don't you dare say another word against her
     F#
I'm about to have the happiest night of my life
Thanks to Galinda

[Verse 3]
F#
Finally, for this one night
       Bsus2/F#
I'm about      to have a fun night
          C#sus4/F#                      F# C#/E#
With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me
      D#m                 A#m
And I only wish there were
          B         C#       D#m
Something I could do  for her
       G#/B#
To repay    her
        C#m7    B
Elphaba,    see?
     C#         D#m            B        C#
We deserve each other And Galinda helped
        D#m B
it come true
     C#         D#m           B/F#
We deserve each other, me and Boq 
                          C#
Please, Elphaba, try to understand
  G#
I do
           C#
Galinda, um

  Nessa and I were talking about you just now and..
.
Oh, well, we were just talking about you
                               G
How you should join us tonight at the Ozdust
                                   A
And don't tell me you have nothing to wear
'Cause you could wear this
G A D
     I mean,
D#        F                  G
  it goes with everything you own

[Verse 4-2]
G
 It's really, uh, sharp,
don't you think?
                  C               Am7
You know black is this year's pink
      D          Em7
You deserve each o  ther
         C        D             Em7     Am7
This hat and you, you're both so   smart
      D          Em7
You deserve each other

Uh, Nessa
         Bbsus2/F
I've got something to confess a
           C/E
Reason why,   well
                       F    C/E
Why I asked you here tonight
      Dm                Am
And I know it isn't fair
Boq, I know why
You do?
         Bb        C          Dm
It's because I'm in this chair
             Gsus4       G
And you felt sorry for me
                 Bbadd9/C
Well, isn't that right?  
No! No, no, no,
I don't feel sorry for you
You're great
I asked you because
Because
  Eb
Because you are so beautiful
Bb/D
Boq, I think you're wonderful
Bb         C         Dm
  And we deserve each  other
            Bb       C           Dm
Don't you see this is our chance?
Bb     C         Dm
  We deserve each  other
Don't we, Boq?
