[Verse]
G Am C G
Bows and flows of angel hair
G Gmaj7 C G
And ice cream castles in the air
G C Am
And feather canyons everywhere
Am7 D
I've looked at clouds that way
G Am C G
But now they only block the sun
G Gmaj7 C G
They rain and snow on everyone
G C Am
So many things I would have done
Am7 D
But clouds got in my way
[Chorus]
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 G
It's clouds illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know clouds at all
[Verse]
G Am C G
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
G Gmaj7 C G
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
G C Am
As every fairy tale comes real
Am7 D
I've looked at love that way
G Am C G
But now it's just another show
G Gmaj7 C G
You leave them laughing when you go
G C Am
And if you care don't let them know
Am7 D
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus]
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 G
It's love's illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know love at all
[Verse]
G Am C G
Tears and fears and feeling proud
G Gmaj7 C G
To say, "I love you" right out loud
G C Am
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Am7 D
I've looked at life that way
G Am C G
But now old friends are acting strange
G Gmaj7 C G
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
G C Am
But something's lost and something's gained
Am7 D
In living every day
[Chorus]
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 G
It's life's illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know life, at all
