[D] [A] Bows [D] and blows of angel [A] hair, and [Dbm] ice-green [Bm] castles in the [A] air, and [D] feathered canyons everywhere.
[Bm] I've looked at [E] clouds that way, [A] but now they only [D] block the [A] sun.
They [Dbm] rain and snow [D] on [A] everyone.
[D] So many things I would have [Bm] done, but clouds got in [E] my way.
[A] I've looked at clouds [D] from both [Gbm] sides now, [D] from up [Gbm] and [D] down, and [A] still somehow [Dbm] it's [D] clouds' illusions I recall.
[A] I really don't [Bm] know clouds [E] [A] at [D] all.
[A] [D] [A]
[D] [A] [D] [A]
[D] Moons and [A] Jews [D] and [A] ferret's wheels, the dizzy [Dbm] dancing [D] way you [A] feel, as [D] every fairy tale [Bm] comes real.
I've looked at [E] love that way, [A] but now it's just [D] another [A] show.
You leave them [Dbm] laughing [D] when you go, [A] and [D] if you care, don't let them [Bm] know.
Don't give yourself [E] away.
[A] I've looked at love [D] from both [A] sides now, [D] from [A] give and take, [D] and still [A] somehow [Dbm] it's [D] love's illusions I recall.

[D] [A] [D] [A]
[F] [Bb] Tears and [Eb] fears and feeling [Bb] proud, to [Dm] say I love [Eb] you right out [Bb] loud.
[Eb] Dreams and schemes and [Cm] circus crowds, I've looked at [F] life that way.
[Bb] But now [Eb] old friends are acting [Bb] strange.
They [Dm] shake their heads, [Eb] they say I've [Bb] changed.
[Eb] But something's lost and something's [Cm] gained in living [F] every day.
[Bb] I've looked at life [Eb] from both [Gm] sides now, [Eb] from win [Bb] and lose, [Eb] and [Bb] still somehow it's [Eb] life's illusions I recall.
[Bb] I really [Cm] don't know [F] life [Bb] at [Eb] all.
