The Other Side

Intro

Am  G  F
Am
Right here, right now
G
I put the offer out
F
I don't want to chase you down
E
I know you see it
Am
You run with me
G
And I can cut you free
F
Out of the treachery and
E
Walls you keep in
F                     C
So trade that typical for something colorful
G                  Am
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
F                         C
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
   E
Or you can risk it all and see
Am        F                       C       G
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
           E                 F
It'll take you to the other side
 F
'Cause you can do like you do
C
Or you can do like me
G                           E
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
Am
Okay, my friend
G
You want to cut me in
F                           E
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
E
You say I'm trapped in
F                     C
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
G                       Am
You're onto something, really it's something
F                                C
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
    E
I'll have to leave that up to you
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
E
I don't need to see the other side
F
So go and do like you do
C
I'm good to do like me
G                        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                             Am
I don't need to see the other side
F                                 C
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
G                         Am
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
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
F                                   C
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
G                      Am G (Uma batida por acorde a partir do Am, depois volta normal)
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
F              C
Wake you up and cure your aching
G                      Am G
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
F                           G
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
C11                           E7/B
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
Am
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
Am
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
G
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
E
I'd do eight
F
Twelve
F
Maybe nine
G
Ten!
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      G      F
To the other side
F
So if you do like I do
C
So if you do like me
G                          Am - G
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
F            C                  G
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
E                         F
We're going to the other side
F                    C
So if you do like I do
             G
To the other side
Am  G
So if you do like me
F             C
To the other side
              G
To the other side
E
We're going to the other...
