[/] [G] Bows and [Am] flows of [/] [C] angel [G↑] hair
And [/] [G] ice cream [Gmaj7] castles [/] [C] in the [G↑] air
And [/] [G] feather [C] canyons [/] [Am] everywhere [/] 
[/] [Am] . I've looked at clouds that [/] [D] way [/]
[/] [G] . But now they [Am] only [/] [C] block the [G↑] sun
They [/] [G] rain and [Gmaj7] snow on [/] [C] every- [G↑] one 
So [/] [G] many [C] things I [/] [Am] would have done
[/] [Am] . But clouds got in my [/] [D] way [/] 


{soc}
[/] [G] . I've looked at [Am] clouds from [/] [C] both sides [G↑] now
From [/] [C] up and [G↑] down, and [/] [C] still some- [G↑] how
It's [/] [Gmaj7] clouds il- [C] lusions [/] [G] I recall
I [/] [G] really [Gmaj7] don't know [/] [C] clouds… [/] [C] 
…at [/] [G↓↓↓] all  [C↑↓] [/] [G↓↓↓] [C↑↓] [/]

[/] [G] Moons and [Am] Junes and [/] [C] ferris [G↑] wheels
The [/] [G] dizzy [Gmaj7] dancing [/] [C] way you [G↑] feel 
As [/] [G] every [C] fairy- [/] [Am] tale comes real [/] 
[/] [Am] I've looked at [C] love that [/] [D] way [/] 
[/] [G] . But now it's [Am] just a- [/] [C] nother [G↑] show
You [/] [G] leave 'em [Gmaj7] laughin’ [/] [C] when you [G↑] go
And [/] [G] if you [C] care [/] [Am] don't let them know [/] 
[/] [Am] Don't give [C] yourself a- [/] [D] way


{soc}
I've [/] [G] looked at [Am] love from [/] [C] both sides [G↑] now
From [/] [C] give and [G↑] take, and [/] [C] still some- [G↑] how
It's [/] [Gmaj7] love’s il- [C] lusions [/] [G] . I recall
I [/] [G] really [Gmaj7] don't know [/] [C] love… [/] [C]

[/] [G] Tears and [Am] fears and [/] [C] feeling [G↑] proud
To [/] [G] say "I [Gmaj7] love you" [/] [C] right out [G↑] loud [/] 
[/] [G] Dreams and [C] schemes [/] [Am] and circus crowds [/] 
[/] [Am] I've looked at [C] life that [/] [D] way [/] 
[/] . [G] But now old [Am] friends are [/] [C] acting [G↑] strange
They [/] [G] shake their [Gmaj7] heads, they [/] [C] say I've [G↑] changed
Well [/] [G] something's [C] lost [/] [Am] . but something's gained [/] 
[/] [Am] . In living every [/] [D] day


{soc}
I've [/] [G] looked at [Am] life from [/] [C] both sides [G↑] now
From [/] [C] win and [G↑] lose, and [/] [C] still some- [G↑] how
It's [/] [Gmaj7] life’s il- [C] lusions [/] [G] I recall
