[Intro] D G/B D G/B D D G/B D G/B D [Verse 1]
Dmaj7    G/B   D  A7   D G/B D
Rows and floes of angel hair

    A7sus4    A7          D   A7  D
And ice cream castles in the air

   Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7     D  G/B  D
And feather canyons everywhere

     Dmaj7      G/B   D    A7sus4
I've looked at clouds that way

   Dmaj7     G/B   D  A7     D G/B D
But now they only block the sun

    A7sus4    A7      D      A7  D
They rain and snow on everyone

   Dmaj7   G/B   D   A7       D  G/B  D
So many   things I would have done

     Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7sus4
But clouds got in   my  way
[Chorus 1]
     D            D  A7       D    A7   D
I've looked at clouds   from both sides now

     D  A7  D         D     A7  D  Dmaj7
From up and down, and still somehow

     G/B             D  G/B  D
It's cloud illusions I  recall

D        G/B   D    A7sus4          D    G/B D   G/B  D
I really don't know clouds      at all
D G/B D G/B D [Verse 2]
Dmaj7    G/B   D  A7   D G/B D
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels

    A7sus4    A7      D      A7  D
The dizzy, dancing way you feel

   Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7     D  G/B  D
As every fairy tale comes real

     Dmaj7      G/B   D   A7sus4
I've looked at love that way

Dmaj7    G/B   D  A7   D G/B D
But now it's just another show

    A7sus4    A7      D      A7  D
You leave 'em laughing when you go

   Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7     D  G/B  D
And if you care don't let them know

     Dmaj7      G/B   D   A7sus4
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus 2]
     D            D  A7       D    A7   D
I've looked at love from both sides now

     D  A7  D         D     A7  D  Dmaj7
From give and take and still somehow

     G/B             D  G/B  D
It's love's illusions I recall

D        G/B   D    A7sus4          D    G/B D   G/B  D
I really don't know love at all
D G/B D G/B D [Verse 3]
Dmaj7    G/B   D  A7   D G/B D
Tears and fears and feeling proud

    A7sus4    A7      D      A7  D
To say, "I love you" right out loud

   Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7     D  G/B  D
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

     Dmaj7      G/B   D   A7sus4
I've looked at life that way

Dmaj7    G/B   D  A7   D G/B D
But now old friends are acting strange

    A7sus4    A7      D      A7  D
They shake their heads, they say I've changed

   Dmaj7    G/B   D   A7     D  G/B  D
Well something's lost but something's gained

     Dmaj7      G/B   D   A7sus4
In living every day
[Chorus 3]
      D                  G          D
I've looked at life from both sides now

     D  A7  D         D     A7  D  Dmaj7
From win and lose and still somehow

     G/B             D  G/B  D
It's life's illusions I recall

D        G/B   D    A7sus4          D    G/B D   G/B  D
I really don't know life, at all
[Extra Chorus]
      D                  G          D
I've looked at life from both sides now

     D  A7  D         D     A7  D  Dmaj7
From up and down and still somehow

     G/B             D  G/B  D
It's life's illusions I recall

D        G/B   D    A7sus4          D    G/B D   G/B  D
I really don't know life, at all
