verse 1 

C        F        C          F 
Rows and flows of angel hair 
C     Em         F         C 
  Ice cream castles in the air 
F                 Em        Dm 
Feathered canyons everywhere 
F                        G       G7 
   I've looked at clouds that way 
C  F             C             F 
   Now they only block the sun 
C                Em      F        C 
   They rain and snow on everyone 
   F             Em         Dm 
So many things I could have done 
                  G      G7 
But clouds got in my way 


C              G           F          C 
I've looked at clouds from both sides now 
     F      C        F         C    Em 
From up and down and still somehow 
           F         C    F 
It's cloud illusions I recall 
  Dm                F      G G7    C   F 
I really don't know clouds      at all

verse 2 

C            F         C      F 
   Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels 
C            Em  F       C 
   Dizzy dancing way you feel 
   F           Em         Dm    F 
As every fairy tale comes real 
                    G        C 
I've looked at love that way 
F             C            F 
Now it's just another show 
C             Em                C 
   Leave them laughing when you go 
    F                 Em            Dm  
And if you care don't let them know 
F                     G    G7 
  Don't give yourself away 


C              F    C               F 
I've looked at love from both sides now 
C             F         C     F 
From give and take, and still somehow 
Em          F         C   Am 
It's love's illusions I recall 
  Dm                F    G    C   F 
I really don't know love   at all 


        E--0-----------------1--|

verse 3 

C         F         C       F     
Tears and fears and feeling proud 
C     Em       F         C 
Say I love you right out loud 
           F           Em     Dm     F 
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds 
                    G        G7 
I've looked at life that way 
C              F           C      F 
   But now old friends are acting strange 
C       Em                F             C 
   They shake their heads they say I've changed 
    F                Em          Dm     F 
Something's lost and something's gained 
          Em    G   G7 
In living every day 

Outro 
  
C               F        C          F   
I've looked at life from both sides now  
C            F        C     F 
From win and lose and still somehow  
     Em      F        C   Em 
It's life's illusions I recall 
  Dm           Dm7  G    G7      C 
I really don't know life    at all
