Intro: G C G C

Verse 1
G         C       G      C
Bows and flows of angel hair
     C        Bm      Em     G
And ice cream castles in the air
     C               Am
And feather canyons everywhere
                 C          D
I've looked at clouds that way
G           C      G       C
But now they only block the sun
C             Bm      Em     G
They rain and snow on everyone
     C               Am
So many things I could have done
       C          D
But clouds got in my way

Chorus 1
     G          C           G         C
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
C         G          C            G
From up and down, and still somehow
      Bm        C          G
Its clouds allusions, I recall
G C G          Em       Dsus4 D  G
I really don't know clouds at all

Verse 2
G         C         G       C
Moons and junes and ferris wheels
     C      Bm     Em       G
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
      C                  Am
As every fairy tale comes real
                C         D
I've looked at love that way
G          C       G      C
But now its just another show
C               Bm        Em    G
You leave them laughing as you go
             C              Am
And if you care, don't let them know
       C             G
Don't give yourself away

Chorus 2
    G           C        G          C
I've looked at love from both sides now
      C        G        C      G
From give and take, and still somehow
      Bm       C           G
It's love's allusions, I recall
G C G        Em       Dsus4 D  G
I really don't know love at all

Verse 3
G          C        G        C
Tears and fears and feeling proud
    C      G         C        G
To say "I love you" right out loud
             C                Am
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
                C         D
I've looked at life that way
    G        C           G      C
But now, old friends are acting strange
     C           Bm           Em      G
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
              C                   Am
Something's lost, but something's gained
      C        D
In living everyday

Chorus 3
      G         C        G     C
I've looked at life from both sides now
     C        G        C      G
Form win and lose, and still somehow
     Bm      C          G
Its life's allusion I recall
G C G       Em      Dsus4 D   G
I really don't know life at all
