[Verse 1] 
Right here, right now, 
5 5 4 4 
I put the ofer out
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 
I don't wanna chase you down I know you see it
-4 -4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 -2 -4 5 -4 5
You run with me 
5 5 4 4 
And I can cut you free
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 
out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
-4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 -2 -4 5 -4 5
So trade your typical
-6 -6 7 -6 6 6 
for somethin' colorful
5 5 6 5 -4 -4
and if it's crazy
4 -6 6 6 5 
live a little crazy
-6 6 6 5 6 5 
You can play it sensible
-6 -6 -6 7 -6 6 6 
a king of conventional
5 5 5 6 5 -4 -4 
or you can risk it all and see
3 -4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 

[Chorus]
Don't you wanna get away
5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
from the same old part you gotta play
3 2 5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
'cause I got what you need
3 2 5 3 3 5
So come with me and take the ride
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -4 
It'll take you to the other side
4 4 -4 4 5 -4 4 -3 4 
'Cause you can do like you do
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 
or you can do like me
3 4 4 4 4 4 
Stay in the cage, or you finally take the key
-4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -4 5 6 5 -4 4 
Oh, damn, suddenly you're free to fly
5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -4 
It'll take you to the other side
4 4 -4 4 5 -4 4 -3 4 

[Verse 2]
Okay, my friend, 
5 5 4 4 
You wanna cut me in
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
-4 -4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 -2 -4 5 -4 5 
So thanks, but no
5 5 4 4 
I think I'm good to go, 
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 
I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
-4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 -2 -3 5 -4 5 
Now I admire you
-6 -6 7 -6 6 6
and that whole show you do
5 5 6 5 -4 -4
You're onto somethin' 
4 -6 6 6 5 
Really it's somethin'
-6 6 6 6 5
But I live among the swells 
-6 -6 -6 7 -6 6 6 
and we don't pick up peanut shells
5 5 5 5 6 5 -4 -4 
I'll have to leave that up to you
3 -4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 

[Chorus]
Don't you know that I'm okay
5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
with this up-town part I get to play
3 2 5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
'Cause I got what I need,
3 2 5 3 3 5 
and I don't wanna take the ride
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -4 
I don't need to see the other side
4 4 -4 4 5 -4 4 -3 4 
So go and do like you do
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 
I'm good to to like me
3 4 4 4 4 4 
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
-4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -4 5 6 5 -4 4 
Oh, damn, can't you see I'm doing fine
5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -4 
I don't need to see the other side/is
4 4 -4 4 5 -4 4 -3 4 

Bride 
this really how you like to spend your days
4 4 -4 4 3 3 2 3 2 2 
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays?
3 2 -1 3 2 -1 1 1 -1 2 -1 
If I were mixed up with you I'd be the talk of the town
-3 -3 -3 4 4 -4 4 -3 -3 -3 -3 2 2 2 
disgraced and disowned another one of the clowns
2 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 -3 -3 4 -4 
But you would finally live a little
4 4 4 4 4 -4 4 3 3 3 
Fin'lly laugh a little
2 3 2 -1 -1 1 
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
-1 -1 -1 -1 1 1 2 -1 1 2 -1 -1 1 
wake you up and cure your achin'
-1 2 1 1 -1 2 1 -1 
take your walls and start 'em breakin'
-1 2 1 -1 3 -3 1 -2 
now that's a deal
-4 -4 5 3 
that seems worth takin'
3 -4 5 3 4 
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 5 5
Well it's intriguing but to go would cost me greatly
4 4 4 4 3 3 3 -3 3 2 2 2 -3 
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
4 4 4 4 3 3 3 -3 2 2 2 2 -3 
Well, fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
2 5 -4 4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 3
I'd give you seven we could shake and make it happen
5 5 5 5 4 5 4 5 4 5 -5 6 5
I wasn't born this morning
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 
eighteen would be just fine
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 6 
Fifteen,
-5 -5
I'd do eight, 
-4 -4 -4 
Twelve, 
5 
Maybe nine
2 2 2 
Ten!
5
Don't you wanna get away
5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
to a whole new part you're gonna play?
3 3 5 5 -4 5 -4 4 4 
'Cause I got what you need
3 3 5 3 3 5
so come with me and take the ride
-4 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -4 
To the other side
5 -4 4 -3 4 
So if you do like I do,
4 4 3 4 4 4 3 
So if you do like me
3 4 3 4 4 3
forget the cage 
-4 -4 4 -4
'cause we know how to make the key
4 -4 -4 5 6 5 -4 4 
Oh damn, suddenly we're free to fly
6 6 -4 5 -4 4 4 3 -3 
We're goin' to the other side
4 -4 4 5 -4 4 -3 4 
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
