Both Sides Now

Transpose
Verse 1
Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Chorus 1
I've looked at clouds from both
sides now
From up and down, and still
somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at
all
Verse 2
Moons and Junes and ferris
wheels
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you
go
And if you care don't let them
know
Don't give yourself away
Chorus 2
I've looked at love from both
sides now
From give and take and still
somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Verse 3
Tears and fears and feeling
proud
To say, "I love you" right out
loud
Dreams and schemes and circus
crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting
strange
They shake their heads, they say
I've changed
Well something's lost but
something's gained
In living every day
Chorus 3
I've looked at life from both
sides now
From win and lose and still
somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life, at all
Extra Chorus
I've looked at life from both
sides now
From up and down and still
somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life, at all
