[Verse 1]
G Am C G
Rows and floes of angel hair
G Gmaj7 C G
And ice cream castles in the air
G C Am
And feather canyons everywhere
Am7 D
I've looked at clouds that way
G Am C G
But now they only block the sun
G Gmaj7 C G
They rain and snow on everyone
G C Am
So many things I would have done
Am7 D
But clouds got in my way
[Chorus 1]
G C G
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
C G C G
From up and down, and still somehow
Bm C G
It's cloud illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know clouds at all
[Verse 2]
G Am C G
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
G Gmaj7 C G
The dizzy, dancing way you feel
G C Am
As every fairy tale comes real
Am7 D
I've looked at love that way
G Am C G
But now it's just another show
G Gmaj7 C G
You leave 'em laughing when you go
G C Am
And if you care don't let them know
Am7 D
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus 2]
G C G
I've looked at love from both sides now
C G C G
From give and take and still somehow
Bm C G
It's love's illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know love at all
[Verse 3]
G Am C G
Tears and fears and feeling proud
G Gmaj7 C G
To say, "I love you" right out loud
G C Am
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Am7 D
I've looked at life that way
G Am C G
But now old friends are acting strange
G Gmaj7 C G
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
G C Am
Well something's lost but something's gained
Am7 D
In living every day
[Chorus 3]
G C G
I've looked at life from both sides now
C G C G
From win and lose and still somehow
Bm C G
It's life's illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know life, at all
[Extra Chorus]
G C G
I've looked at life from both sides now
C G C G
From up and down and still somehow
Bm C G
It's life's illusions I recall
C D D7 G C G C G C G C G C G
I really don't know life, at all

Try a Bm instead of the Gmaj7

Sorry, one G chord got missed on the chorus 2nd line. Should be as follows:
/ C G / C G /
From up and down, and still some-how
Some people may substitute a Bm for the Gmaj7, but there are several ways of playing the Gmaj7 that might be explored.
Enjoy!

I see my correction did not display properly too.
The C chord goes over the; "up"
The G chord goes over the; "down"
Next C chord goes over the; "still"
And the G chord goes over the; "somehow"
