D Em G D F#m G D But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone. G Em G A So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way. D Em G D I've looked at clouds from both sides now, G D G D From up and down, and still somehow F#m G D It's clouds illusions I recall. G A Asus4 A D I really don't know clouds at all. D G D 2x D Em G D F#m G D Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel G Em G A When every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way. D Em G D F#m G D But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go G Em G A And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away. D Em G D I've looked at love from both sides now, G D G D From give and take, and still somehow F#m G D It's love's illusions I recall. G A Asus4 A D I really don't know love at all. D G D 2x D Em G D F#m G D Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud, G Em G A Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. D Em G D F#m G But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say D I've changed. G Em G A But something's lost but something's gained in living every day. D Em G D I've looked at life from both sides now, G D G D From win and lose, and still somehow F#m G D It's life's illusions I recall. G A Asus4 A D I really don't know life at all. D G D 2x D Em G D I've looked at life from both sides now, G D G D From win and lose, and still somehow F#m G D It's life's illusions I recall. G A Asus4 A D I really don't know life at all.
