Intro

G  C  D  G x 2


Verse 1

G        C        D     G
Bows and flows of angel hair

              Bm      C      G
And ice-cream castles in the air

            C
And feather canyons everywhere

                           D
I've looked at clouds that way

    G        C    D         G
But now they only block the sun

              Bm      C    G
They rain and snow on everyone

        C
So many things I would have done

                     D
But clouds got in my way

Chorus 1

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

     C      G        C         G
From up and down and still somehow

     Bm       C      D   G
It's cloud illusions I recall

  Am     G          D             G   C  D  G
I really don't know clouds.....at all

Verse 2

G         C         D      G
Moons and dunes and ferris wheels

          Bm      C       G
The dizzy dancing way you feel

         C
As every fairy tale comes real

                         D
I've looked at love that way

    G        C      D     G
But now it's just another show

               Bm       C        G
You leave them laughing when you go

           C
And if you care don't let them know

                     D
Don't give yourself away

Chorus 2

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

     C        G        C         G
From give and take and still somehow

     Bm        C      D   G
It's love's illusions I recall

  Am     G          D           G    C  D  G x 2
I really don't know love.....at all

Verse 3

G         C         D       G
Tears and fears and feeling proud

         Bm       C         G
To say I love you right out loud

           C
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

                         D
I've looked at life that way

    G       C           D      G
But now old friends are acting strange

                 Bm         C        G
They shake their heads they say I've changed

                C
But something's lost and something's gained

                D
In living every day

Chorus 3

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

     C       G        C         G
From win and lose and still somehow

     Bm       C       D   G
It's life's illusions I recall

  Am      G         D           G    C  D  G x 2
