Both Sides Now
Joni Mitchell
Capo 2
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| Bows and | flows of | angel | hair, and ice-cream | castles | in the | air |
| C | Am | D |
| And feather c | anyons | everywhere; I've looked at clouds that | way |
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| But | now they | only | block the | sun, they rain and | snow on | every | one |
| C | Am | D |
| So many th | ings I | would have done, but clouds got in my | way |
| G | Am | C | G | C | G |
| I've | looked at | clouds from | both sides | now, from | up and | down |
| C | G | Bm | C | G |
| And | still some | how it's | cloud ill | usions | I recall |
| C | D | Dsus | D | G | Am | G | D |
| I | really don't know | clo | uds | at | all | | | |
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| Moons and | Junes and | Ferris | wheels, the dizzy | dancing | way you | feel |
| C | Am | D |
| As every | fairy | tale comes real; I've looked at love that | way |
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| But | now it's | just an | other | show, you leave them | laughing | when you | go |
| C | Am | D |
| And if you | care don't | let them know, don't give yourself | away |
| G | Am | C | G | C | G |
| I've | looked at | love from | both sides | now, from | give and | take |
| C | G | Bm | C | G |
| And | still some | how it's | love's ill | usions | I recall |
| C | D | Dsus | D | G | Am | G | D |
| I | really don't know | lo | ve | at | all | | | |
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| Tears and | fears and | feeling | proud, to say "I | love you" | right out | loud |
| C | Am | D |
| Dreams and | schemes and | circus crowds; I've looked at life that | way |
| G | Am | C | G | Bm | C | G |
| But | now old | friends are | acting | strange, they shake their | heads, they | say I've | changed |
| C | Am | D |
| Well somethings | lost but | something's gained in living every | day |
| G | Am | C | G | C | G |
| I've | looked at | life from | both sides | now, from | win and | lose |
| C | G | Bm | C | G |
| And | still some | how it's | life's ill | usions | I recall |
| C | D | Dsus | D | G | Am | C | D | G |
| I r | eally don't know | lif | e | at | all | | | | |
