[Verse]
Bows and Amflows of Cangel Ghair and ice cream Bmcastles Cin the Gair
And feather Ccanyons everyAmwhere, I've Clooked at clouds that Dway
But Gnow they Amonly Cblock the Gsun, they rain and Bmsnow on CeveryGone
So many Cthings I Amwould have done but Cclouds got in my Dway
[Chorus]
I've Glooked at Amclouds from Cboth sides Gnow
From Cup and Gdown, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmclouds ilClusions GI recall
I Creally don't know Dclouds  -  at Gall
[Verse]
Moons and AmJunes and CFerris Gwheels, the dizzy Bmdancing Cway you Gfeel
When every Cfairy Amtale comes real, I've Clooked at love that Dway
But Gnow it's Amjust aCnother Gshow, you leave 'em Bmlaughing Cwhen you Ggo
And if you Ccare, don't Amlet them know, don't Cgive yourself aDway
[Chorus]
I've Glooked at Amlove from Cboth sides Gnow
From Cgive and Gtake, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmlove's ilClusions GI recall
I Creally don't know Dlove  -  at Gall
[Verse]
Tears and Amfears and Cfeeling Gproud to say, "I Bmlove you" Cright out Gloud
Dreams and Cschemes and Amcircus crowds, I've Clooked at life that Dway
But Gnow old Amfriends are Cacting Gstrange
They shake their Bmheads, they Csay I've Gchanged
But something's Clost but Amsomething's gained in Cliving every Dday
[Chorus]
I've Glooked at Amlife from Cboth sides Gnow
From Cwin and Glose, and Cstill someGhow
It's Bmlife's ilClusions GI recall
I Creally don't know Dlife  -  at Gall

[Intro]

[Verse]

Am C G Bm C G

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air

C Am C D

And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way

G Am C G Bm C G

But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone

C Am C D

So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way

[Chorus]

G Am 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 G

I really don't know clouds - at all

[Verse]

Am C G Bm C G

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel

C Am C D

When every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way

G Am C G Bm C G

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go

C Am C D

And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away

[Chorus]

G Am 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 G

I really don't know love - at all

[Verse]

Am C G Bm C G

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say, "I love you" right out loud

C Am C D

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way

G Am C G

But now old friends are acting strange

Bm C G

They shake their heads, they say I've changed

C Am C D

But something's lost but something's gained in living every day

[Chorus]

G Am 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 G

I really don't know life - at all
