[Intro]
Dm C Bb A
[Verse 1]
[BARNUM]
Dm
Right here, right now
C
I'll put the offer out
Bb
I don't wanna chase you down
A
But I know you see it
Dm
You run with me
C
And I can cut you free
Bb
Out of the treachery of
A
all you keep in
Bb
So trade that typical
F
For something colorful
C Dm C
And if it's crazy live a little crazy
Bb
You can play it sensible
F
D king of conventional
G7 A7
Or you can risk it all and see
[Chorus]
[BARNUM]
Bb F
Don't you wanna get away
C Dm
From the same old part you gotta play
Bb F C
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
Dm C
It'll take you to the other side
Bb
'Cause you can do like you do
F
Or you can do like me
C Dm
Stay in the cage or you finally take the key
Bb F C
Oh! Damn! suddenly you're free to fly
A
It'll take you to the other side
[Verse 2]
[PHILLIP]
Dm
Okay, my friend
C
You wanna cut me in
Bb
Well I hate to tell you,
A
But it just won't happen
Dm
So thanks, but no
C
I think I'm good to go
Bb
'Cause I quite enjoy the life
A
You say I'm trapped in
Bb
Now I admire you
F
And that whole show you do
C
You're onto something
Dm C
Really, it's something
Bb
But I live among the swells
F
And we don't pick up peanut shells
G7 A7
I'll have to leave that up to you
[Chorus]
[PHILLIP]
Bb F
Don't you know that I'm okay
C Dm
With this uptown part I get to play
Bb F C
'Cause I've got what I need and I don't wanna take the ride
Dm C
Don't need to see the other side
Bb
So go and do like you do
F
I'm good to do like me
C Dm
Ain't in a cage so I don't need to take the key
Bb F C
Oh! Damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine?
A
I don't need to see the other side
[Bridge]
[BARNUM]
Bb F
Is this really how you like to spend your days?
C Dm C
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays
[PHILLIP]
Bb
If I were mixed up with you
F
I'd be the talk of the town
C
Disgraced and disowned
A
Another one of the clowns
[BARNUM]
Bb
But you would finally live a little
F
Finally laugh a little
C Dm C
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
Bb
And it'll wake you up, and cure your aching
G7
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Bb
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
Gm6 A
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
[PHILLIP]
Dm
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
Dm
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[BARNUM]
Gm
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
Dm
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen.
[PHILLIP]
A
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
[BARNUM]
Bb
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime?
[PHILLIP]
A
Fifteen
[BARNUM]
N.C.
I'd do eight
[PHILLIP]
Bb
Twelve
[BARNUM]
N.C.
Maybe nine
[PHILLIP]
A
Ten
[Chorus]
BARNUM & [PHILLIP]
Bb F
Don't you wanna get away
C Dm
To a whole new part you're gonna play
Bb F C
'Cause I got what you need to come with me and take the ride
Dm C
To the other side
Bb
So we can do like I do
F
So we can do like me
C Dm
Forget the cage 'cause we know how to make the key
Bb F C
Oh! Damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
Dm
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
Bb F
So we can do like I do!
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
To the other side
(BARNUM]
C Dm
So we can do like me
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
Bb F
'Cause if you do you're going
[BARNUM] & [PHILLIP]
C
To the other side
A N.C.
We're going to the other side
