[G] [C]
[G]
Rows and flows of angel hair
I sing past the golden air
In feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on [D] everyone
[G]
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds now from up and down
And still somehow it's cloud [C] illusions [G] I recall
I really don't know [C] clouds [D]
[G] at all
Moons and dunes and ferris wheels
The dizzy [D] dancing [G] way you [G] feel
As every fairy tale comes real
Oh, I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave them [D] laughing [G] when you [D] go
[G] And if you care, don't let them know
No, don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
Oh, I really don't know [D] love
[G] at all
Fears and fears and feeling proud
You say I [D] love you [G] right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus clouds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their [D] heads, they [G] say I've changed
Well, something's lost
But something's gained in living every [D] day
[G]
Oh, I've looked at life from both sides now
From winning and losing
Still somehow it's [C] life's illusions [G] I recall
Oh, I really don't know life [D]
[G] at all
