[Ebm] [Bb] [C]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Gm] [Bb]
Well I came a long way to be here today And I left you so long [Eb] on this avenue
[F] And here I stand in the strangest land Not knowing what [Bb] to say or do
As I gaze around at these strangers in town I guess the only stranger [Eb] is me
[F] And I wonder, yes I wonder, oh I wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
Although it's only a day since I was taken away
I'm left standing here [Eb] looking in wonder
Oh [F] they grounded my feet, maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know [Bb] lies unknown And when I see what they've done to this place
that was home Shame is all [Eb] that I feel
[F] And I wonder, yes I wonder, oh I wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
Too [Eb]
late, [F] too late to cry, [Bb]
[D] people [Gm] will say [Eb] Too late for [F] you, too late [Bb] for me
You've [Eb]
come so [F] far, now you [Bb] know
[D] everything [Gm] my friend
[C] So you can see the wonders [Eb] of my world
[Bb]
[Eb] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[F] And I wonder, yes I wonder, oh I wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
As I wander around this wreck of a town Where people never [Eb] speak aloud
[F] With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers I wish I was back in [Bb] 1981
Just to see your face instead of your place Now I know what you mean [Eb] to me
And [F] I wonder, yes I wonder, oh I wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
And
[Eb]
[F]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[F] I wonder, yes I wonder, oh I wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
Oh, [F] I wonder, oh I wonder, wonder, wonder Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
Oh, [F] is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
[F] Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
[F] Is this the way life's meant [Bb] to be?
