[Intro]
C#m B A G#
[Verse 1]
[BARNUM]
C#m
Right here, right now
B
I'll put the offer out
A
I don't wanna chase you down
G#
But I know you see it
C#m
You run with me
B
And I can cut you free
A
Out of the treachery of
G#
all you keep in
A
So trade that typical
E
For something colorful
B C#m B
And if it's crazy live a little crazy
A
You can play it sensible
E
C# king of conventional
F#7 G#7
Or you can risk it all and see
[Chorus]
[BARNUM]
A E
Don't you wanna get away
B C#m
From the same old part you gotta play
A E B
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
C#m B
It'll take you to the other side
A
'Cause you can do like you do
E
Or you can do like me
B C#m
Stay in the cage or you finally take the key
A E B
Oh! Damn! suddenly you're free to fly
G#
It'll take you to the other side
[Verse 2]
[PHILLIP]
C#m
Okay, my friend
B
You wanna cut me in
A
Well I hate to tell you,
G#
But it just won't happen
C#m
So thanks, but no
B
I think I'm good to go
A
'Cause I quite enjoy the life
G#
You say I'm trapped in
A
Now I admire you
E
And that whole show you do
B
You're onto something
C#m B
Really, it's something
A
But I live among the swells
E
And we don't pick up peanut shells
F#7 G#7
I'll have to leave that up to you
[Chorus]
[PHILLIP]
A E
Don't you know that I'm okay
B C#m
With this uptown part I get to play
A E B
'Cause I've got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
C#m B
Don't need to see the other side
A
So go and do like you do
E
I'm good to do like me
B C#m
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key
A E B
Oh! Damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine?
G#
I don't need to see the other side
[Bridge]
[BARNUM]
A E
Is this really how you like to spend your days?
B C#m B
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays
[PHILLIP]
A
If I were mixed up with you
E
I'd be the talk of the town
B
Disgraced and disowned
G#
Another one of the clowns
[BARNUM]
A
But you would finally live a little
E
Finally laugh a little
B C#m B
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
A
And it'll wake you up, and cure your aching
F#7
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
A
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
F#m6 G#
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
[PHILLIP]
C#m
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
C#m
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[BARNUM]
F#m
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
C#m
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen.
[PHILLIP]
G#
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
[BARNUM]
A
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime?
[PHILLIP]
G#
Fifteen
[BARNUM]
N.C.
I'd do eight
[PHILLIP]
A
Twelve
[BARNUM]
N.C.
Maybe nine
[PHILLIP]
G#
Ten
[Chorus]
BARNUM & [PHILLIP]
A E
Don't you wanna get away
B C#m
To a whole new part you're gonna play
A E B
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
C#m B
To the other side
A
So we can do like I do
E
So we can do like me
B C#m
Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key
A E B
Oh! Damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
C#m
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
A E
So we can do like I do!
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
To the other side
(BARNUM]
B C#m
So we can do like me
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
A E
'Cause if you do you're going
[BARNUM] & [PHILLIP]
B
To the other side
G# N.C.
We're going to the other side
