[D]
[A]
Rows and flows of angel hair
[D]
And ice [E] cream castles in the [D] air
[E] [D] And feather [A] canyons everywhere
[E]
[G] Looked at [E] clouds that way
But
[D] now they only [E] block the sun
[G] They rain and [D] they snow [Em] on everyone
[G] [Bm] So [Am]
[Em] many [E] things I would have done
But clouds [G] got in my [A] way
I've [D] looked at clouds from both sides now
From [A] up and down [D] and still somehow
It's cloud [A]
illusions [F#m] I recall
But there are [E]
really no [A] clouds at
[D] all
Moons and dunes and fairy spheres
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As [G] every [E] fairy tale comes real
[G] I've looked at love [D] that way
[B]
[D] But now it's just another show
And [A] you leave them laughing [Bm]
when you go
[E] And if you [G] can, [B] don't let them [G] know
Don't [Em] give yourself [A] away
I've [D] looked at love [G] from both [D] sides now
[G] From give [D] and take and still [A] somehow
It's [G] love's illusions [D] that I [B] recall
[E]
I really don't know [A] love
I really don't know [D] love at all
[G]
[D]
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you [G] right [D] out loud
Dreams and [G] schemes and circus crowd
[D] [G] I've looked at life that [A] way
[D] Oh, but now, old friends, they're acting [A] strange
And they shake their heads
[Bm] And they tell me that I've changed
[G] Well, something's lost
And something's gained
In [E] living [A] every day
[D] I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose [G]
and still [D] somehow
It's [Am] life's [A] illusions [Bm] I recall
[Em]
I really don't [D] know life
[A] [Bm] at [G]
all
[A]
[D]
[G] [D] [G]
[D]
It's life's [G] [D] illusions that [Bm] I recall
[B] I really don't know [E]
life
I [G] really don't know life [E] at [Em] all
[C] [C]
