[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Right here, right now
[G]I put the offer out
[F]I don't want to chase you down
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 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 see[E]

[Chorus 1]
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
from the [G]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
[C]Or you can do like me
[G]Stay in the cage,
or you'll [Am]finally take the key
[F]Oh, damn! [C]Suddenly you're free to [G]fly
It'll take you [E]to the other

[Verse 2]
[Am](side) 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 something, rea[Am]lly it's som[G]ething
[F]But I live among the swells,
and [C]we don't pick up peanut shells
[D]I'll have to leave that up to you[E]

[Chorus 2]
[F]Don't you [C]know that I'm okay
with this [G]uptown [Am]part I get to play
'Cause I [F]got what what I need
and [C]I don't want to take the r[G]ide
I don't need to [Am]see the [G]other side
[F]So go and do like 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

[Bridge 1]
[F](side) 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 d[G]ream
And it'll [F]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
[Dm]But I guess I'll leave that up to you[E]

[Bridge 2]
[Am]Well it's intriguing,
but to go would cost me greatly
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 and make it happen
[E]I wasn't born this morning,
eighteen would be just 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

[Chorus 3]
[F]Don't you [C]wanna get away
to a [G]whole new [Am]part you're you're gonna play
'Cause I [F]got what you need,
so [C]come with me and take the [G]ride
[Am]To the o[G]ther 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 o[G]ther side
[F]So if you do like I do
[C](To the other side)
[G]So if you do like me[Am]
[F]'Cause if we do we're going
[C]to the other [G]side
We're going [E]to the other side
