Intro (x2): Gb B Gb B Verse: Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B Gb Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air B Abm B Db And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way. Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B Gb But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone. B Abm B Db So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way. Chorus: Gb Abm B Gb I've looked at clouds from both sides now, B Gb B Gb From up and down, and still somehow Bbm B Gb It's clouds illusions I recall. B Db Dbsus4 Db Gb I really don't know clouds at all. Interlude (x2): Gb B Gb B Verse: Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B Gb Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel B Abm B Db As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way. Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B Gb But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go B Abm B Db And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away. Chorus: Gb Abm B Gb I've looked at love from both sides now, B Gb B Gb From give and take, and still somehow Bbm B Gb It's love's illusions I recall. B Db Dbsus4 Db Gb I really don't know love at all. Interlude (x2): Gb B Gb B Verse: Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B Gb Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud, B Abm B Db Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. Gb Abm B Gb Bbm B But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say Gb I've changed. B Abm B Db But something's lost but something's gained in living every day. Chorus: Gb Abm B Gb I've looked at life from both sides now, B Gb B Gb From win and lose, and still somehow Bbm B Gb It's life's illusions I recall. B Db Dbsus4 Db Gb I really don't know life at all. Interlude (x2): Gb B Gb B Gb Abm B Gb I've looked at life from both sides now, B Gb B Gb From up and down, and still somehow Bbm B Gb It's life's illusions I recall.
