[F#]
Rows and flows of angel hair and ice cream [C#] [F#] castles in the air
And feather [B] [F#] canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that weep
But now they only block the sun
They rain and [C#] snow [F#] on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
Up and down
And still somehow it's cloud illusions
I recall I really don't [C#] know clouds
[F#]
Foons and dunes and feral squeals
The dizzy [C#] dancing [F#] way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that weeps
But now it's just another show
You leave them [C#] laughing [F#] when you [C#] [F#] go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From [C#] give [F#] and take
And [C#] still [F#] somehow it's love illusions
I recall I really don't know [C#] love
[F#]
Fears and fears and feeling proud
You say I [C#] love you [F#] right out [C#]
[F#] loud
Dreams and schemes and surface crowds
I've looked at life that weeps
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their [C#] heads, [F#] they say I've changed
Well, something's [C#] lost
But [F#] something's gained in living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose
And still somehow it's life's illusions
I recall I really don't know life
[C#]
[F#] At all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down
And [C#] still [F#] somehow it's life's illusions
I recall I really don't know life
[C#] [F#] At all
