[Verse 1]
[Am]Right here[C], right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
[G]I k[C]now you see it[Am]
You run with me
[G]And I can cut you free
[F]Out of the drudgery and walls you[C] keep in
[F]So trade that typ[C]ical for something colorful
[G]And if it's crazy, liv[Am]e a little cra[G]zy
[F]You can play it sensible,
[C]a king of conventional
[D]Or you can risk it all and[E] see[F]Don[C]'t you wanna get
away from [G]the same old [Am]part you gotta 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 ot[G]her side
[F]'Cause you can do like you do
Or [C]you can do like me
[G]Stay in the cage,
or you'll [Am]finally take the key
[F]Oh, damn! [G]Sud[C]denly you're free to [G]fly
It'll take you [E]to the [Am]other sideOkay, my friend,
[G]you want to cut[Am] me in
Well I [G]hate [Am]to tell you,
but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
[G]I think I'm good to go
[F]'Cause I quite enjoy the life
you say [C]I'm [F]trapped in
Now I admire you,
[C]and that whole show you do
[G]You're onto something,
[C]rea[Am]lly it's som[G]ething
[F]But I live among the swells,
[G]and we don't p[C]ick up peanut shells
[D]I'll have to leave that up to you[E]Don'[F]t you kno[C]w
that I'm okay [G]with this uptown [Am]part I get to play
[G]'Cause I [F]got what I need and [C]I
don't want to take the [G]ride
I don't need [Am]to 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 [G]take the key
[F]Oh, damn! [C]Can't you see I'm doing [G]fine
I don't need [E]to see the other sideNow is [F]this
really how you like [C]to spend your days?
[G]Whiskey and [Am]misery, and parties [G]and playsIf 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 clownsBut you would [F]finally live a [C]little, finally laugh a [G]little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
And [F]it'll wake you up and cure your aching
[D]Take your walls and start 'em breaking
[F]Now that's a deal that
seems worth taking
[Bdim]But I guess I'll leave that up to youW[E]ell [Am]it's intriguing,
but [F]to go would cost me [Am]greatly
So what percentage [F]of the show would I [Am]be ta[F]king?Fair enough,
you'd want a piece [C]of all the [F]action[Am]
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make [E]it happenI wasn't born this morning,
eighteen would be [F]just fineWhy not just go ahead and ask for nickels on [E]the [F]dim[Am]eFift[G]ee[C]nI'd[F] do eightTwelveMaybe nineTenDon't you wanna get away[C] to a whole new part[G] you'r[Am]e gonna play
'Cause I [F]got what you need,
so [C]come with me and take the [G]ride
[Am]To the other[F] side
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! [G]Suddenly
[C]we're free to fly[G]
We're [Am]going to the [G]oth[Em]er side
[F]So if you do like I do[C]
(To the [G]other side)
So if you do like [Am]me
(We're going to the oth[C]er [F]side)
'Cause if we do we're going
[C]to the other [G]side
We're going [E]to the other side
