[Intro]
[Am] [G] [F] [E]
[Verse 1]
[BARNUM]
[Am] Right here, right now
[G] I'll put the offer out
[F] I don't wanna chase you down
But I [E]know you see it
[Am] You run with me
[G] And I can cut you free
[F] Out of the drudgery the
[E]walls you keep in
[F] So trade that typical
[C] For something colorful
[G] And if it's crazy [Am]live a little [G]crazy
[F] You can play it sensible
[C]A king of conventional
[D7] Or you can risk it all and s[E7]see
[Chorus]
[BARNUM]
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
From the [G]same old p[Am]part you gotta play
'Cause I [F]got what you need
to [C]come with me and take the [G]ride
It'll take you [Am]to the [G]other side
[F] 'Cause you can do like you do
[C] Or you can do like me
[G] Stay in the cage or you [Am]finally take the key
[F] Oh! Damn[C]Damn! Suddenly you're free t[G]to fly
It'll take you [E]to the other side
[Verse 2]
[PHILLIP]
[Am] Okay, my friend
[G] You wanna cut me in
[F] Well I hate to tell you,
But it [E]just won't happen
[Am] So thanks, but no
[G] I think I'm good to go
[F] 'Cause I quite enjoy the life
You [E]say I'm trapped in
[F] Now I admire you
[C]And that whole show you do
[G] You're onto something
[Am]Really, it's [G]something
[F]But I live among the swells
[C] And we don't pick up peanut shells
[D7] I'll have to leave that up to y[E7]you
[Chorus]
[PHILLIP]
[F] Don't you [C]know that I'm okay
With this [G]uptown [Am]part I get to play
'Cause [F]I've got what I need
and [C]I don't wanna take the [G]ride
Don't need to [Am]see the [G]other side
[F] So go and do like you do
[C] I'm good to do like me
[G] Ain't in a cage so I [Am]don't need to take the key
[F] Oh! Damn! [C]Can't you see I'm doing [G]fine?
I don't need to [E]see the other side
[Bridge]
[BARNUM]
[F] Is this really how you like to [C]spend your days?
[G] Whiskey and misery and [Am]parties and [G]plays
[PHILLIP]
If I were [F]mixed up with you
I'd be the [C]talk of the town
Dis[G]Disgraced and disowned
Another [E]one of the clowns
[BARNUM]
But you would [F]finally live a little
[C]Finally laugh a little
[G] Just let me give you the [Am]freedom to [G]dream
And it'll [F]wake you up, and cure your aching
[D7]Take your walls and start 'em breaking
[F]Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
[Dm6]But I guess I'll leave that up to y[E]you
[PHILLIP]
[Am]Well it's intriguing, but
to go would cost me greatly
[Am]So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[BARNUM]
[Dm]Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
[Am]I'd give you seven, we
could shake and make it happen.
[PHILLIP]
[E]I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
[BARNUM]
[F]Why not just go ahead and
ask for nickels on a dime?
[PHILLIP]
[E]Fifteen
[BARNUM]
N.C.
I'd do eight
[PHILLIP]
[F]Twelve
[BARNUM]
N.C.
Maybe nine
[PHILLIP]
[E]Ten
[Chorus]
BARNUM & [PHILLIP]
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
To a [G]whole new [Am]part you're gonna play
'Cause I [F]got what you need to
[C]come with me and take the [G]ride
[Am]To the [G]other side
[F] So if you do like I do
[C] So if you do like me
[G] Forget the cage 'cause we
[Am]know how to make the key
[F]Oh! Damn! [C]Suddenly we're free to [G]fly
We're going [Am]to the other side
[BARNUM]
[F]So we can do like I do[C]do!
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
To the other side
(BARNUM]
[G] So we can do like m[Am]me
[PHILLIP]
N.C.
We're going to the other side
[BARNUM]
[F]'Cause if you do you're goin[C]going
[BARNUM] & [PHILLIP]
To the other [G]side
We're going [E]to the other [N.C.]side
