Both sides now    (video)

 

    G - C - G - C (2x)

 

       G             C                    G

1. Bows and flows of angel hair,

G                         Bm       C        G

    and ice cream castles in the air,

G                      C                             - Am                                           D

    and feather canyons everywhere,       I've looked at clouds that way.

             G           C                     G

    But now they only block the sun,

G                         Bm        C     G

    they rain and snow on everyone,

G                  C                                    - Am                                    D

    so many things I would have done,        but clouds got in my way.

 

            G                                 C               G

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now,

             C           G               C            G

    from up and down, and still somehow,

             D                   G

    it's clouds' illusions I recall,

C                                  Am     - D7     G    - C - G - C

    I really don't know clouds          at all.

 

        G              C                           G

2. Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,

G                   Bm         C           G

    the dizzy, dancing way you feel,

G                 C                             - Am                                        D

    as every fairy tale comes real,        I've looked at love that way.

            G         C                    G

    But now it's just another show,

G                           Bm             C          G

    you leave them laughing when you go,

G                    C                                     - Am                                   D

    and if you care, don't let them know,         don't give yourself away.

 

            G                             C               G

    I've looked at love from both sides now,

              C           G              C            G

    from give and take, and still somehow,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

          D                    G

    it's love's illusions I recall,

C                                Am   - D7      G  - C - G - C

    I really don't know love           at all.                    + G - C - G - C

 

       G             C                           G

3. Tears and fears and feeling proud,

G                 Bm          C            G

    to say, "I love you" right out loud,

G                           C

    dreams and schemes and circus crowds,

Am                                    D

    I've looked at life that way.

            G           C                            G

    But now old friends are acting strange,

G                             Bm               C            G

    they shake their heads, they say I've changed.

G                       C                                          - Am                          D

    Something's lost and something's gained,         in living every day.

 

            G                           C               G

    I've looked at life from both sides now,

              C          G              C            G

    from win and lose, and still somehow,

          D                  G

    it's life's illusions I recall,

C                               Am  - D7      G    - C - G - C

    I really don't know life           at all.                       + G - G
