Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Did  that really just happen?
Have  I actually understood?
This  weird quirk I've tried
 To suppress  or hide
 Is a talent  that could
Help  me meet the Wizard
 If I  make good
So  I'll make, good;
When  I meet  the Wizard,
Once  I prove  my worth
 And then I'll meet the Wizard
 What I've waited  for since,
 Since birth!
 And with all his  Wizard  wisdom,
 By my looks, he  won't be blinded.
 Do you think the  Wizard is dumb?
 Or, like Munchkins,  so small-minded?
 No! He'll say to me,
"I  see who you truly  are -
A  girl on whom I can rely!"
 And that's  how we'll begin
 The Wizard and I
 Same chords as verse 1 :)
 Once I'm with the Wizard
 My whole life will change
 'Cuz once you're with the Wizard
 No one thinks you're strange!
 No father is not proud of you,
 No sister acts ashamed
 And all of Oz has to love you
 When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
 And this gift or this curse
 I have inside
 Maybe at last, I'll know why
 When we are hand in hand -
 The Wizard and I!
 And one day,  he'll say to me, "Elphaba
 A girl  who is so superior,
Shouldn't  a girl who's so good inside
Have  a matching exterior?
And  since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem  fixated on your  verdigris.
 Would it be all  right by you
 If I
 de-greenified you?"
And  though of course,
That's  not important  to me.
"All  right, why not?" I'll  reply
Oh,  what a pair we'll be
 The Wizard and I;
 Yes, what  a pair we'll  be
 The Wizard and...
 Same chords as verse :)
 And I'll stand there with the Wizard,
 Feeling things I've never felt.
 And though I'd never show it,
 I'd be so happy, I could melt!
 And so it will be
 For the rest of my life,
 And I'll walk up the aisles
 Till I die.
 Held in such  high esteem.
 When people see  me, they will scream
 For half of Oz's  favorite team;
 The Wizard
 And I
