verse 1
C F C F
Rows and flows of angel hair
C Em F C
Ice cream castles in the air
F Em Dm
Feathered canyons everywhere
F G G7
I've looked at clouds that way
C F C F
Now they only block the sun
C Em F C
They rain and snow on everyone
F Em Dm
So many things I could have done
G G7
But clouds got in my way
[Refrão]C G F C
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
F C F C Em
From up and down and still somehow
F C F
It's cloud illusions I recall
Dm F G G7 C F
I really don't know clouds at all

verse 2
C F C F
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
C Em F C
Dizzy dancing way you feel
F Em Dm F
As every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way
F C F
Now it's just another show
C Em C
Leave them laughing when you go
F Em Dm
And if you care don't let them know
F G G7
Don't give yourself away
[Refrão]C F C F
I've looked at love from both sides now
C F C F
From give and take, and still somehow
Em F C Am
It's love's illusions I recall
Dm F G C F
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
C Em F C
Say I love you right out loud
F Em Dm F
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
G G7
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
C Em F C
They shake their heads they say I've changed
F Em Dm F
Something's lost and something's gained
Em G G7
In living every day
Outro
