[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
