{c: Thanks Debra Skeen}
[NC] (sing E) There is.. a feeling [Dmaj7] ... here inside
That I [Dbm7] cannot hide
and I [D6] know I've tried
but it's [Amaj7] turning me a-[Gb7]round

[Bmaj7] I'm not sure ... that [Emaj7] I'm aware
If I'm [Bmaj7] up or down or [Emaj7] here or there 
I need [Bmaj7] both feet on the [Emaj7] ground

[Em7] Maybe I'm [A7] just going [Dmaj7] crazy 
[Dm] let myself [G7] get up-[Cmaj7]tight [C6] 
[F7] I'm acting just like a [Bbmaj7] baby
But [Gmaj7] I'm [Fmaj7] gonna [Ebmaj7] be al-[Dmaj7]right

[Em7] Soon as I get [Dmaj7] home
[Em7] Soon as I get [Dmaj7] home
[F] Soon as I get [Cmaj7] home [C6]

[C] In a different [Cmaj7] place, in a [C6] different time
[Cmaj7] different [Bb] people around me
[C] I would like to [Cmaj7] know of their [C6] different
world [Cmaj7] and how [Bb] different they find me

[F] And just what's a Wiz is he [G] big? Will scare me?
[F] If I ask to leave will the [G] Wiz even hear me?
[Edim] How will I know [Aaug] then [A7]
If I’ll [Dm7] ever get home a-[Abmaj7]gain?

[C] Here I am alone, [Cmaj7] though it [C6] feels the same
[Cmaj7] I don't [Bb] know where I'm going
[C] I'm here on my [Cmaj7] own and it’s [C6] not a game
[Cmaj7] and a [Bb] strange wind is blowing
[F] I'm so amazed at the [G]
things that I see here 
don’t [F] want to be afraid,
I just [G] don’t want to be here [Edim]
In my mind this is [Aaug] clear [A7]
[Dm7] What am I doing [Abmaj7] here?

[Bb] I wish ... I was [Cmaj7] home [C6]

Info: The Wiz: The Super Soul Musical "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is a musical with music and lyrics by Charlie Smalls (and others) and book by William F. Brown. It is a retelling of L. Frank Baum's children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) in the context of contemporary African-American culture. It opened on October 21, 1974, at the Morris A. Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore, and moved to Broadway's Majestic Theatre with a new cast on January 5, 1975.

The 1975 Broadway production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. It was an early example of Broadway's mainstream acceptance of works with an all-Black cast. It has had revivals in New York, London, San Diego, and the Netherlands, and a limited-run revival was presented by Encores! at New York City Center in June 2009. A big-budget film adaptation of the same name was released in 1978, with Ted Ross and Mabel King reprising their roles. A live television production of the stage version, The Wiz Live!, was broadcast on NBC on December 3, 2015, with an encore presentation on December 19 of the same year.

Motown Productions acquired the film rights to The Wiz in 1977 and signed Stephanie Mills in anticipation of having her star as Dorothy in the film adaptation. Motown singer and actress Diana Ross asked Motown CEO Berry Gordy to cast her instead, but he declined, feeling that the then-33-year-old Ross was far too old for the part. However, she contacted Rob Cohen of Universal Pictures, who offered to have them finance the film if she were to play Dorothy, at which point he acquiesced.

The resulting film version of The Wiz also starred former Motown star Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as the Tin Man, Richard Pryor as the Wizard, jazz singer Thelma Carpenter as Miss One (the name "Addapearle" was not used for this production) and Lena Horne as Glinda. Ross and King reprised their roles of the Lion and Evillene from the Broadway production respectively. Sidney Lumet served as director, working with screenwriter Joel Schumacher (who used none of Brown's stage script) and music supervisor Quincy Jones. The film was a critical and commercial failure, performing poorly at the box office and severely panned by critics, who branded the casting of Ross instead of Mills as Dorothy a disastrous blunder
