G
GRows and floes of angel hair
GM7CG
And ice cream GM7castles Cin the Gair
GAm
And Gfeather Amcanyons everywhere
D
I've looked at clouds that Dway
G
But Gnow they only block the sun
GM7CG
They rain and GM7snow on CeveryGone
Am
So many Amthings I would have done
D
But clouds got in my Dway
GCG
I've Glooked at clouds from Cboth sides Gnow
CGCG
From Cup and Gdown, and Cstill someGhow
BmCG
It's Bmcloud ilClusions GI recall
AmDG
Amreally don't know Dclouds at Gall
G
GMoons and Junes and ferris wheels
GM7CG
The dizzy GM7dancing Cway you Gfeel
GAm
As Gevery Amfairy tale comes real
D
I've looked at love that Dway
GCG
But Gnow it's just aCnother Gshow
GGM7CG
You Gleave 'em GM7laughing Cwhen you Ggo
Am
And if you Amcare don't let them know
D
Don't give yourself aDway
GCG
I've Glooked at love from Cboth sides Gnow
CGCG
From Cgive and Gtake and Cstill somGehow
BmCG
It's Bmlove's ilClusions GI recall
AmDG
Amreally don't know Dlove at Gall

GTears and fears and feeling proud
GM7CG
To say, I lGM7ove you Cright out Gloud
Am
Dreams and Amschemes and circus crowds
D
I've looked at life that Dway
G
GBut now old friends are acting strange
GM7CG
They shake their GM7heads, they Csay I've Gchanged
Am
Well something's Amlost but something's gained
D
In living every Dday
GCG
I've Glooked at life from Cboth sides Gnow
CGCG
From Cwin and Glose and Cstill someGhow
BmCG
It's Bmlife's ilClusions GI recall
AmDG
Amreally don't know Dlife at Gall
