 Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my 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 Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when 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 Well something's lost, but 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

The Running Styles Of New York

G
D/f#
Em
C
x2
G
I hear beauty in things Like the neighbors return
D/f#
To their love and pride
Em
Their day like a wicked ride
C
But then to belong And their kids running by Given riddles and tales For their way to be Little buddies, the mystery Of just being around
Am
Em
D/f#
All that I fear is that all that I have given you
G
G7
C
Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control
Am
Em
D/f#
But I see the light in oh so many things out here
G
C
D/f#
C
G
And a lifetime gently now sits on the stairs to my home
C
G
Am
Em
We're running out, but moving on
C
D/f#
G
Into the days of our grace returning
G
D/f#
Em
C
And the dancer just turns Until they spin fast enough For the biggest show Take some pics of the afterglow Then do it again I see stars in the sky And I wish they'd return To be in me now Make up for what I lack somehow When it's all been too much All that I fear is that all that I have given you Is a ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control But I see the light in oh so many things out here And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home We're running out, but moving on Into the days of our grace returning

Am
Em
D/f#
I'm curly to the bone
G
C
But then you straighten me again
Am
Em
D/f#
I carry you to bed
G
C
Let the hours sweep away
D/f#
Your day has been hard I will whisper to heal And not wake up The listening thoughts in me Their revealing dark poetry and this shadow They sell There is beauty out here Like peculiar running styles Some are wild And the breath on the other side Of getting around All that I fear is that all that I have given you The ship out to nowhere that wants to be out of control But I see the light in oh so many things out here And a lifetime so gently now sits on the stairs to my home We're running out, but moving on Into the days of our grace returning We're running out, but moving on

What I've Been Kicking Around

Capo:
VII
F
C
Ah, oh, ah
F
G/c
G
Some of your honey in my hand
Am
/g
F
And a silver dollar in my shoe
G/c
G7
Time had never been so kind The naked spring, the weightless songs And the memories of being young And the breath of getting out
G/c
F
And days wanting to stay
G
Within, without
G/c
F
Keep my green eyes open for what I've
G
Been kicking around, oh
Instrumental verse x2
I open up the windows now Let the wind right through my country home Let my notes just fly around Then get some rest upon the lawn Where so many years of leaves did fall Like a bed of all what's been And days wanting to stay Within, without Keep my green eyes open for what I've Been kicking around
Instrumental verse
E
Am
I leave at night before the dreams are in
E
Am
Can't lay and wait for their unraveling
F
G/c
I need my manners, not my weary soul
G7
And there's so much kindness in the world Some of your honey in my hand And a silver dollar in my shoe Time had never been so bold I cut my losses, leave the ground Feel a hum in every wheel I turn And the breath of getting out And days wanting to stay Within, without Keep my green eyes open for what I've Been kicking around, oh
Instrumental verse x2
