[Dm] [D]
Rose and flows of angel hair And ice [G] cream [D] castles in the air
feather [A] canyons everywhere [G] Looked at clouds [A] that way
[D] But now they only [Em] block the sun [G] [D] They [G]
rain and they [D] snow [Em] on everyone
[Em] many [G] [A] things I would have [Em] done [A] But [G] clouds guard you [A] my way
looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down
And still [D] somehow It's cloud

[A] illusions [F#m] I recall

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [G] _
_ _ all
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Moons and dunes _ _ and fairies' wheels _ The _ _ _ dizzy dancing way that you feel _ _ _
As [G] every _ _ _ [Bm] fairy [Em] tale comes true _ _ I've [G] _ _ looked at love that [D] way
_ _ But [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] now _ [D] it's just _ another show _ _ And _ _ [A] you leave them [Bm] laughing _ _ when you go
_ _ [D]
And [G] if you _ can, [A] _
[Em] don't let them know _ [G] _ _ _
_ Don't [Em] give yourself [D] away _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ I've looked at love [G]

_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ Tears and fears and feeling proud _ _ To [G] say I love _ you right [D] out loud _ _
_ _ Dreams and schemes [G] _
and circus crowds _ [D] _ _
[G] _ I've looked at life that [A] way
_ _ _ _ [D] But now, old friends, _ they're acting _ strange _ _ And they shake their [A] heads
[Bm] And they tell me that I've _ changed _ [G]
Well, _ _ _ something's lost
_ But something's _ gained _ In [D] living _ every _ _ [A] day
_ _ _ [D]
I've looked at life from both sides now _ _ [G] _
From win [D] and lose
_ [G] _
And still [D] _ _ somehow _ It's [A] life's _ _ _ _ illusions [Bm] I recall
_ _ [Em] _
I _ really don't [D] know love _ _ _ [A] at _ [Bm] _
