G5        G5       C5      G5       G5              C5       G5
Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air,
    G5       G5    C5    C5           am7                 D5
And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way.
     G5       G5   C5        G5         G5            C5    G5
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
   G5     G5      C5         C5        am7               D5
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in the way.
      G5                     C5          G5
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
      C5      G5          C5        G5
From up and down, and still somehow
      G5   am7     G5   E5          C5               D5        G5        
It's clouds illusions I recall; I really don't know clouds at all.

G5         G5        C5       G5          G5         C5        G5
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
     G5     G5  C5           C5          am7                 D5
When every fairy tale comes real   I've looked at love that way.
     G5       G5    C5       G5       G5              C5       G5
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing as you go,
    G5       G5       C5         C5  am7                       D5
And if you care, don't let them know,    don't give yourself away.
       G5                  C5          G5
I've looked at love from both sides now,
       C5        G5         C5        G5
From give and take, and still somehow,
     G5    am7     G5    E5      C5                 D5       G5
It's love's illusions I recall; I really don't know love at all.

Interlude

G5          G5       C5       G5       G5             C5         G5
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud;
G5          G5        C5      C5   am7                           D5
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds   I've looked at life that way.
     G5      G5          C5        G5        
But now old friends are acting strange, 
     G5           G5      C5          G5
They shake their heads and say I've changed,
      G5       E5       C5           C5    am7                   D5
But something's lost and something's gained     from living every day.
 G5                        C5          G5
I've looked at life from both sides now,
      C5       G5          C5       G5
From win and lose, and still somehow,
     G5   am7      G5    E5     C5      C5          D5      G5
It's life's illusions I recall; I really don't know life at all.
