BOTH SIDES NOW
by Joni Mitchell
performed by Judy Collins
G C G
Bows and flows of angel hair,
C G
And ice cream castles in the air,
C C/B Am
And feather canyons everywhere:
D
I`ve looked at clouds that way.
G C G
But now they only block the sun,
C G
They rains and snow on everyone.
C C/B Am
So many things I could have done,
D
But clouds got in my way.
G C G
I`ve looked at clouds from both sides now,
C G C G
From up and down, and still somehow
b C G
It`s clouds` illusions I recall
G C G e C G
I really don`t know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy, dancing way you feel,
When every fairy tale comes real:
I`ve looked at love that way.
But now it`s just another show,
You leave them, laughing as you go.
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.
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.
But something`s lost and something`s gained
In 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.
