[Intro]
Am G F N.C.

[Verse 1]
[P.T. Barnum]
Am
Right here, right now
G
I put the offer out
F
I don't want to chase you down
N.C.
I know you see it
Am
You run with me
G
And I can cut you free
E
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
F C
So trade that typical for something colorful
G Am G
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
F C
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
D E
Or you can risk it all and see

[Chorus]
[P.T. Barnum]
F C G Am
Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play
F
'Cause I got what you need
C G
So come with me and take the ride
Am F
It'll take you to the other side
C
'Cause you can do like you do
G
Or you can do like me
Am
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
F C G
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
E Am
It'll take you to the other side

[Verse 2]
[Phillip Carlyle]
G
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
F E
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
Am
So thanks, but no
G
I think I'm good to go
F E
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
F C
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
G Am C
You're onto something, really it's something
F C
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
D E
I'll have to leave that up to you

[Chorus]
[Phillip Carlyle]
F C G Am
Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
F C G
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
Am F
I don't need to see the other side
C
So go and do like you do
G
I'm good to do like me
Am
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
F C G
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
E F
I don't need to see the other side

[Verse 3]
[P.T. Barnum]
F C
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
G Am G
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

[Phillip Carlyle]
F C
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
G E
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

[P.T. Barnum]
F C
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
G Am G
Just let me give you the freedom to dream 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 E
But I guess I'll leave that up to you

[Bridge]
[Phillip Carlyle]
F C
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
G Am
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?

[P.T. Barnum]
F C
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 Carlyle]
E
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

[P.T. Barnum]
F
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime

[Phillip Carlyle]
E
Fifteen

[P.T. Barnum]
E
I'd do eight

[Phillip Carlyle]
F
Twelve

[P.T. Barnum]
F
Maybe nine

[Phillip Carlyle]
N.C.
Ten

[Chorus]
[Both
F C G Am
Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
F C G
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
Am F
To the other side
C
So if you do like I do
G
So if you do like me
Am
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
F C G
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
Am F
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
C G
(To the other side)
Am
So if you do like me
C F
(To the other side)
C G
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
E
We're going to the other
N.C.
