  			Intro: A D (x4)  

#1.  
A        D              A  
Bows and flows of angel hair   
                        C#m     D      A  
and ice-cream castles in the air,  
A           D            Bm          D  
Feather canyons everywhere:  
                                       E  
I've looked at clouds that way.  
    A        D    A  
But now they only block the sun.   
                       C#m     D    A  
They rain, they snow on everyone.  
A       D                             Bm  
So many things I would have done,  
                                E  
but clouds got in my way.  

     A                     D           A  
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,  
     D      A         D         A         E  
From up and down, and still somehow 
          A               D               
it's clouds' illusions I recall— 
   Bm       E7      A     D    A    D 
I really don't know clouds, at all.  


A         D         A      D           C#m     
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,  
            D                             A          
the dizzy, dancing way you feel.  
            D                        Bm 
as every fairy tale comes real— 
                                     E  
I've looked at love that way.   
    A        D      A                         
But now it's just another show:  
   C#m                              D        A  
Leave 'em laughing when you go,  
A          D                                Bm  
And if you care, don't let 'em know; 
                                E  
Don't give yourself away.  

     A                   D          A         D  
I've looked at love from both sides now,  
    A                          D         A         E      
from give and take, and still somehow 
        A                       D 
it's love's illusions I recall.   
                     Bm   E7 A  
I really don't know love at all.  


(INTERLUDE:) A D A D A (x2)  
  
A                            D         A                                
Tears and fears and feeling proud    
C#m              D                       A  
to say "I love you" right out loud.  
A                  D                               Bm  
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds: 
     E  
I've looked at life that way.   
     A              D                       A  
But now old friends are acting strange.  
                            C#m       D        A  
They shake their heads and say I've changed.  
A                     D                                         Bm           E  
Well, something's lost but something's gained living every day.  

 
     A                   D          A            D        
I've looked at life from both sides now, 
         A                        D       A 
from win and lose and still somehow 
E                A           D                 Bm  
it's life's illusions I recall.  
   Bm                     E7       A 
I really don't know life at all.
