[Intro]
Em D C B
[Verse 1]
[BARNUM]
Em
Right here, right now
D
I'll put the offer out
C
I don't wanna chase you down
B
But I know you see it
Em
You run with me
D
And I can cut you free
C
Out of the treachery of
B
all you keep in
C
So trade that typical
G
For something colorful
D Em D
And if it's crazy live a little crazy
C
You can play it sensible
G
E king of conventional
A7 B7
Or you can risk it all and see
[Chorus]
[BARNUM]
C G
Don't you wanna get away
D Em
From the same old part you gotta play
C G D
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
Em D
It'll take you to the other side
C
'Cause you can do like you do
G
Or you can do like me
D Em
Stay in the cage or you finally take the key
C G D
Oh! Damn! suddenly you're free to fly
B
It'll take you to the other side
[Verse 2]
[PHILLIP]
Em
Okay, my friend
D
You wanna cut me in
C
Well I hate to tell you,
B
But it just won't happen
Em
So thanks, but no
D
I think I'm good to go
C
'Cause I quite enjoy the life
B
You say I'm trapped in
C
Now I admire you
G
And that whole show you do
D
You're onto something
Em D
Really, it's something
C
But I live among the swells
G
And we don't pick up peanut shells
A7 B7
I'll have to leave that up to you
[Chorus]
[PHILLIP]
C G
Don't you know that I'm okay
D Em
With this uptown part I get to play
C G D
'Cause I've got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
Em D
Don't need to see the other side
C
So go and do like you do
G
I'm good to do like me
D Em
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key
C G D
Oh! Damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine?
B
I don't need to see the other side
[Bridge]
[BARNUM]
C G
Is this really how you like to spend your days?
D Em D
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays
[PHILLIP]
C
If I were mixed up with you
G
I'd be the talk of the town
D
Disgraced and disowned
B
Another one of the clowns
[BARNUM]
C
But you would finally live a little
G
Finally laugh a little
D Em D
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
C
And it'll wake you up, and cure your aching
A7
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
C
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
Am6 B
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
[PHILLIP]
Em
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
Em
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[BARNUM]
Am
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
Em
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen.
[PHILLIP]
B
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
[BARNUM]
C
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime?
[PHILLIP]
B
Fifteen
[BARNUM]
N.C.
I'd do eight
[PHILLIP]
C
Twelve
[BARNUM]
N.C.
Maybe nine
[PHILLIP]
B
Ten
[Chorus]
BARNUM & [PHILLIP]
C G
Don't you wanna get away
D Em
To a whole new part you're gonna play
C G D
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
Em D
To the other side
C
So we can do like I do
G
So we can do like me
D Em
Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key
C G D
Oh! Damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
Em
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
C G
So we can do like I do!
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
To the other side
(BARNUM]
D Em
So we can do like me
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
C G
'Cause if you do you're going
[BARNUM] & [PHILLIP]
D
To the other side
B N.C.
We're going to the other side
