Both Sides Now Tab

by Hayley Westenra


Capo 2
Intro:    

Verse 1
                      
Bows and flows 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 could 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
                        
Its clouds allusions, 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 its just another show
                           
You leave them laughing as 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 allusions, 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
                                 
Something's lost, but something's gained
              
In living everyday

Chorus 3
                            
I've looked at life from both sides now
                           
Form win and lose, and still somehow
                     
Its life's allusion I recall
                   
I really don't know life at all
