Intro

G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G x 2


Verse 1

G+G    C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
Bows and flows of angel hair

       B minorBm   C majorC   G+G
And ice-cream castles in the air

      C majorC
And feather canyons everywhere

              D MajorD
I've looked at clouds that way

  G+G    C majorC  D MajorD     G+G
But now they only block the sun

       B minorBm   C majorC  G+G
They rain and snow on everyone

    C majorC
So many things I would have done

           D MajorD
But clouds got in my way

Chorus 1

   G+G           C majorC     G+G
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

   C majorC   G+G    C majorC     G+G
From up and down and still somehow

   B minorBm    C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
It's cloud illusions I recall

 A minorAm   G+G     D MajorD       G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G
I really don't know clouds.....at all

Verse 2

G+G     C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
Moons and dunes and ferris wheels

     B minorBm   C majorC    G+G
The dizzy dancing way you feel

     C majorC
As every fairy tale comes real

             D MajorD
I've looked at love that way

  G+G    C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
But now it's just another show

        B minorBm    C majorC    G+G
You leave them laughing when you go

      C majorC
And if you care don't let them know

           D MajorD
Don't give yourself away

Chorus 2

   G+G          C majorC     G+G
I've looked at love from both sides now

   C majorC    G+G    C majorC     G+G
From give and take and still somehow

   B minorBm    C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
It's love's illusions I recall

 A minorAm   G+G     D MajorD      G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G x 2
I really don't know love.....at all

Verse 3

G+G     C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
Tears and fears and feeling proud

     B minorBm    C majorC     G+G
To say I love you right out loud

      C majorC
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

             D MajorD
I've looked at life that way

  G+G    C majorC      D MajorD   G+G
But now old friends are acting strange

         B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
They shake their heads they say I've changed

        C majorC
But something's lost and something's gained

        D MajorD
In living every day

Chorus 3

   G+G          C majorC     G+G
I've looked at life from both sides now

   C majorC    G+G    C majorC     G+G
From win and lose and still somehow

   B minorBm    C majorC    D MajorD  G+G
It's life's illusions I recall

 A minorAm   G+G     D MajorD      G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G x 2
