The Other Side

	  		A 
Right here, right now 
A 
I put the offer out 
A 
I don't want to chase you down 
C 
I know you see it 

A 
You run with me 
A 
And I can cut you free 
A 
Out of the treachery and 
C. 
Walls you keep in 

A                     C 
So trade that typical for something colorful 
G 
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy 
A                         C 
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional 
   G 
Or you can risk it all and see 


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


A 
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in 
A 
Well I hate to tell you, but it 
C 
Just won't happen 

   A 
So thanks, but no 
A 
I think I'm good to go 
 A 
'Cause I quite enjoy the life 
C 
You say I'm trapped in 

A                     C 
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do 
G 
You're onto something, really it's something 
A                                C 
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells 
     G 
I'll have to leave that up to you 


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


A 
Now is this really how you like to spend your days? 
A 
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays 


C 
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town 
C 
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns 


A 
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little 
A 
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll 
A 
Wake you up and cure your aching 
C 
Take your walls and start 'em breaking 
C                                         Cadd4 
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking 
                                 E 
But I guess I'll leave that up to you 



A                                                    G 
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly 
        A                                        G 
So what percentage of the show would I be taking? 

C                                                G 
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action 
C                                                    G 
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen 


A                                                      G 
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine 


C                                                    G 
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime 


A 
Fifteen 


C 
I'd do eight 

A 
Twelve 


C 
Maybe nine 


C 
Ten 

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

A 
So if you do like I do 
(To the other side) 
F 
So if you do like me 
(We're going to the other side) 
 C                          A 
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side 
C 
We're going to the other...
