Right here, right now

You run with me

And I can cut you free

all you keep in

For something colorful

FF C majorC
Don't you know that I'm okay

With this uptown part I get to play

BARNUM:
FF C majorC
Is this really how you like to spend your days?
G+G A minorAm G+G
Whiskey and misery and parties and plays

FF
If I were mixed up with you
C majorC
I'd be the talk of the town

Another one of the clowns
BARNUM:
FF
But you would finally live a little
C majorC
Finally laugh a little
G+G A minorAm G+G
Just let me give you the freedom to dream
FF
And it'll wake you up, and cure your aching
DmDm
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
FF
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
DmDm E MajorE
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
PHILIP:
A minorAm
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
A minorAm
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
BARNUM:
D MajorD
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
A minorAm
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen.
PHILIP:
E MajorE
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
BARNUM:
FF
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on a dime?

Fifteen
