(G) (Am) (G) (D)
(G)Bows and (Am)flows of (C)angel (G)hair, and ice-cream (Bm)castles (C)in the (G)air,
And feather c(C)anyons (Am)everywhere; I've looked at clouds that (D)way.
But (G)now they (Am)only (C)block the (G)sun, they rain and (Bm)snow on (C)every(G)one,
So many th(C)ings I (Am)would have done, but clouds got in my (D)way.
I've l(G)ooked at (Am)clouds from (C)both sides (G)now, from (C)up and d(G)own,
And s(C)till some(G)how it's (Bm)cloud ill(C)usions (G)I recall;
I r(C)eally don't know (D)clo(Dsus)uds (D)at (G)all. (Am) (G) (D)
(G)Moons and (Am)Junes and (C)Ferris (G)wheels, the dizzy (Bm)dancing (C)way you (G)feel
As every (C)fairy (Am)tale comes real; I've looked at love that (D)way.
But (G)now it's (Am)just an(C)other (G)show, you leave them (Bm)laughing (C)when you (G)go,
And if you (C)care don't (Am)let them know, don't give yourself (D)away.
I've l(G)ooked at (Am)love from (C)both sides (G)now, from (C)give and (G)take,
And s(C)till some(G)how it's (Bm)love's ill(C)usions (G)I recall;
I r(C)eally don't know (D)lo(Dsus)ve (D)at (G)all. (Am) (G) (D)
(G)Tears and (Am)fears and (C)feeling (G)proud, to say "I (Bm)love you" (C)right out (G)loud;
Dreams and (C)schemes and (Am)circus crowds; I've looked at life that (D)way.
But (G)now old (Am)friends are (C)acting (G)strange, they shake their (Bm)heads, they (C)say I've (G)changed.
Well somethings (C)lost but (Am)something's gained in living every (D)day.
I've l(G)ooked at (Am)life from (C)both sides (G)now, from (C)win and (G)lose,
And s(C)till some(G)how it's (Bm)life's ill(C)usions (G)I recall;
I r(C)eally don't know (D)lif(Dsus)e (D)at (G)all. (Am) (C) (D) (G)
