[Bb] Bows and [Eb] floes of [Bb] ancient hair, and ice [Dm] cream [Eb] castles in [Bb] the air, [Eb] and every [Cm] canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds [F] that way.
[Bb] But now they only [Eb] block [Bb] the sun, they [Dm] rain and snow [Eb] on [Bb] everyone, so [Eb] many things I [Cm] would have done, but clouds got in [F] my way.
[Bb] I've looked at clouds [Eb] from both [Bb] sides now, up and down, and [Eb] still [Bb]
somehow, these [Eb] clouds' [Bb] illusions I recall, [Eb] I really don't [Cm] know now.
[F] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [F] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [F] [Bb] Moons and dunes [Eb] and ferris [Bb] wheels, the [Dm] dizzy dancing [Eb] way [Bb] you feel, as [Eb] every fairy [Cm] tale comes real, I've looked at love [F] that way.
[Bb] But now it's [Eb] just another [Bb] show, you leave [Dm] them laughing [Eb] when you [Bb] go, and [Eb] if you [Cm] care, don't let them know, don't give yourself [F] away.
[Bb] I've looked at love [Eb] from both sides [Bb] now, from give and take, [Eb] and still [Bb] somehow, [Dm] it's [Eb] love's [Bb] illusions I recall, [Eb] I really don't [Cm] know now, [F]
[Bb] at all.

[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [G]
[C] Tears and fears [F] and faith [C] and proud, to say [Em] I love [F] you right [C] out loud, dreams [F] and schemes [Dm] and circus crowds, I've looked at life [G] that way.
[C] But now old friends [F] are acting [C]
strange, they shake [Em] their hands, [Dm] they say [C] I've changed, but [F] something's lost and something's gained, [Dm] in living [G] every day.
[C] I've looked at life [F] from both [C] sides now, from win and lose, and still somehow, it's life's [F] [C] illusions I recall, [F] I really don't [D] know now, I [C] don't [G] know life [C] at all.
