Intro: Bb

Bb
Well I came a long way to be here today
                               Eb
And I left you so long on this avenue
    F
And here I stant in the strangest land
                     Bb
Not knowing what to say or do


Bb
As I gaze around at the strangers in town
                             Eb
I guess the only stranger is me
      F
And I wonder (yes I wonder)

Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
                                Bb
Is this the way life's meant to be?

I know it's only a day since I was taken away

And left standing here looking in wonder

The ground at my feet maybe it's just the old street

But everything that I know lies under

And when I see what they've done to this place that was home

Shame is all the I feel

And I wonder (yes I wonder)

Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
                                Bb  ( Bb Cm Dm Eb )
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Eb              F
You've come so far
             Bb    D       Gm
Now you know everything my friend

Solo: Verso

As I wonder around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak aloud
With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers
I wish I was back in 1981

Just to see a face instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (yes I wonder)
Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?
