Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

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

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...
