Chords

[Verse 1]
 G         Am      C    G
Rows and floes of angel hair

       G       Gmaj7   C      G
And ice cream castles in the air

   G         C        Am
And feather canyons everywhere

     Am7                   D
I've looked at clouds that way

     G        Am    C        G
But now they only block the sun

      G      Gmaj7    C    G
They rain and snow on everyone

G          C      Am
So many things I would have done

     Am7             D
But clouds got in my way
[Chorus 1]
      G                    C          G
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

     C      G           C       G
From up and down, and still somehow

     Bm      C       G
It's cloud illusions I recall

   C               D   D7      G    C  G C  G C  G C  G C  G
I really don't know clouds at all
[Verse 2]
 G         Am         C      G
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels

  G        Gmaj7    C       G
The dizzy, dancing way you feel

   G      C               Am
As every fairy tale comes real

     Am7                  D
I've looked at love that way

    G        Am    C       G
But now it's just another show

  G           Gmaj7    C        G
You leave 'em laughing when you go

G           C          Am
And if you care don't let them know

Am7                  D
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus 2]
      G                  C          G
I've looked at love from both sides now

     C         G        C       G
From give and take and still somehow

     Bm       C       G
It's love's illusions I recall

   C               D   D7      G    C  G C  G C  G C  G C  G
I really don't know love at all
[Verse 3]
  G        Am       C       G
Tears and fears and feeling proud

   G         Gmaj7     C         G
To say, "I love you" right out loud

G              C              Am
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

     Am7                  D
I've looked at life that way

 G           Am           C       G
But now old friends are acting strange

     G           Gmaj7         C        G
They shake their heads, they say I've changed

     G           C        Am
Well something's lost but something's gained

Am7             D
In living every day
[Chorus 3]
      G                  C          G
I've looked at life from both sides now

     C        G       C        G
From win and lose and still somehow

     Bm       C       G
It's life's illusions I recall

   C               D   D7     G    C  G C  G C  G C  G C  G
I really don't know life, at all
[Extra Chorus]
      G                  C          G
I've looked at life from both sides now

     C      G        C        G
From up and down and still somehow

     Bm       C       G
It's life's illusions I recall

   C               D   D7     G    C  G C  G C  G C  G C  G
I really don't know life, at all
