[Db]
[Db] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]
[Db] [Ab] Bows and float [Db] of [Ab] angel hair, and [Cm] ice cream [Db] castles [Ab] in the air, and feathered [Bbm]
canyons everywhere.
I've looked at [Db] clouds that way, [Eb] [Ab] but now they [Db] only block [Ab] the sun.
They [Cm] rain and snow [Db]
on [Ab] everyone.
So many things [Bbm]
I would have done, but clouds got [Db] in my [Eb] way.
[Ab] I've looked at [Db] clouds from both [Ab] sides [Db] now, from [Ab] up and [Db] down, and still [Ab] somehow,
[Cm] it's clouds' [Db] illusions [Ab] I recall.
I really don't [Db] know clouds [Eb] [Ab]
at [Db] all.
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] Moons and dunes [Db] and [Ab] ferris wheels, the busy [Cm] [Db] dancing way you [Ab] feel,
as every [Bbm] fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that [Eb] way.
[Ab] But now it's [Db] just another show.
Leave them laughing when you go, and if you care, [Bbm] don't let them know.
Don't give [Eb] yourself away.
[Ab] I've looked at love [Db] from both sides now, from give and take, and still somehow,
[Cm] it's love's [Ab] illusions I recall.
I really [Db] don't know love [Eb] [Ab] at [Db] all.
[Ab] [Db] Tears and fears and feeling [Ab] proud, to say [Cm] I love [Db] you right [Ab] out loud.
Dreams [Db] and schemes [Bbm] and circus [Db] crowds, I've looked at life [Eb] that way.
[Ab] But now [Db] old friends are acting [Ab] strange.
They shake [Cm] their heads, [Db] they say [Ab] I've changed.
But [Db]
something's [Bbm] lost, but something's gained in living [Eb] every day.
[Ab] I've looked [F] at life [Db] from both [Ab] sides now, in and out, [Db] and still [Ab] somehow,
[Cm] it's [Db] life's [Ab] illusions I recall.
I really don't [Db] know life, [Eb] don't know it [Ab] at [Db] all.
