-3------2------------------------------------------------| and so on...
Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air,
G/f#
And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
G/f#
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in the way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow
It's clouds illusions I recall; I really don't know clouds at all.
Interlude:
G/f#

-3-------2------0-----0-0--------------------------| TAP TAP
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
G/f#
When every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing as you go,
G/f#
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take, and still somehow,
It's love's illusions I recall; I really don't know love at all.
Interlude
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud;
G/f#
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads and say I've changed,
G/f#
But something's lost and something's gained from living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall; I really don't know life at all.
In the original Dirk Darmstaeder version the interlude equals the intro. It sounds
better if you play it the way I written it down if you only have one guitar...
