CODA - Both Sides Now

[intro]
F#

[verse 1]
F#           G#m      B         F#
   Rows and flows of angel hair
               C#          D#m
And ice cream castles in the air
     B            G#m
And feather canyons everywhere,
B                            C#
 I've looked at clouds that way.
F#
   But now they only block the sun,
                 C#     D#m
They rain and snow on everyone.
    B           G#m
So many things I would have done
B                      C#
 But clouds got in my way.

[chorus]
F#                C#        D#m        F#
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
     B       F#         B       C#
From up and down, and still somehow
F#            B      C#   D#m
It's clouds illusions I recall.
G#m                    C#   F#
 I really don't know clouds at all.

[verse 2]
F#           G#m        B       F#
  Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels,
           C#       D#m
The dizzy dancing way you feel
   B            G#m
As every fairy tale comes real;
B                          C#
 I've looked at love that way.
F#
  But now it's just another show,
                   C#            D#m
You leave 'em laughing when you go
    B              G#m
And if you care, don't let them know
B                      C#
 Don't give yourself away.

[chorus]
F#                           B     F#
I've looked at love from both sides now,
      F#                   B     F#
From give and take, and still somehow
               B      C#   D#m
It's love's illusions I recall.
G#m                    C#  F#
 I really don't know love   at all.

[verse 3]
F#            G#m       B       F#
   Tears and fears and feeling proud
           C#        D#m
To say "I love you" right out loud,
  B                 G#m
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
B                          C#
 I've looked at life that way.
F#
  But now old friends, they're acting strange,
                 C#
They shake their heads,
      D#m
they say I've changed.
     B
Well, something's lost
   G#m
but something's gained
B                 C#
 In living every day.

[chorus]
F#                         B     F#
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     F#                  B     F#
From win and lose, and still somehow
F#            B      C#   D#m
It's life's illusions I recall.
G#m                   C#
 I really don't know life

      F#                      B     F#
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     F#                B     F#
From up and down, and still somehow
F#            B      C#   D#m
It's life's illusions I recall.
G#m                   C#     F#
 I really don't know life    at all
