[Am] [G] [F] [E]
[Am]Right here, right now,[G] I 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 and [E]walls you keep in
[F]So trade that typical[C] for somethin' 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 [E7]see
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
From the [G]same old [Am]part you gotta [G]play
'Cause I [F]got what you need so [C]come with me and take the [G]ride
It'll take you [Am]to the [G]other [F]side
'Cause you can do like you do[C] or you can do like me
[G]Stay in the cage or you'll [Am]finally [G]take the key
[F]Oh! Damn! [C]Suddenly you're free to [G]fly
It'll take you [E]to the other [Am]side
[Am]Okay, my friend,[G] you want to 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 somethin', [Am]really, it's [G]somethin'
[F]But I live among the swells and [C]we don't pick up peanut shells
[D7]I'll have to leave that up to [E7]you
[F]Don't you [C]know that I'm okay
With this [G]uptown [Am]part I get to [G]play
'Cause I [F]got what I need and [C]I don't wanna take the [G]ride
I don't need to [Am]see the [G]other [F]side
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 [G]take the key
[F]Oh! Damn! [C]Can't you see I'm doin' [G]fine?
I don't [D7]need to see the other [F]side
[F]Now is this really how you like to [C]spend your days?
[G]Whiskey and misery, and [Am]parties and [G]plays
If I were [F]mixed up with you, I'd be the [C]talk of the town
Dis[G]graced and disowned, another [E]one of the clowns
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 achin'
[D7]Take your walls and start 'em breakin'
[F]Now that's a deal that seems worth takin'
[Dm6]But I guess I'll leave that up to [E7]you
[Am]Well, it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
[Am]So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
[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
[E]I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
[F]Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?
[E]Fifteen
I'd do eight
[F]Twelve
Maybe nine
[E]Ten
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
To a [G]whole new [Am]part you're gonna [G]play?
'Cause I [F]got what you need so [C]come with me and take the [G]ride
[Am]To the [G]other side
[F]So we can do like I do,[C] so if you do like me
[G]Forget the cage 'cause we [Am]know how to [G]make the key
[F]Oh! damn! [C]Suddenly we're free to [G]fly
We're goin' [Am]to the [G]other side
[F]So if you do like I do[C] (To the other side)
[G]So if you do like me[Am] (We're goin' to the other side)
[F]'Cause if we do, we're goin'[C] to the other [G]side
We're goin' [E]to the other [Am]side
