Intro: Bb5

Bb5
Well I came a long way to be here today
                               Eb5
And I left you so long on this avenue
    F5
And here I stant in the strangest land
                     Bb5
Not knowing what to say or do


Bb5
As I gaze around at the strangers in town
                             Eb5
I guess the only stranger is me
      F5
And I wonder (yes I wonder)

Yes I wonder (oh I wonder)
                                Bb5
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)
                                Bb5  ( Bb5 C5 D5 Eb5 )
Is this the way life's meant to be?

REFR?O


Eb5             F5  
Too late, too late to cry

The people say
Eb5            F5                Bb5  ( Bb5 C5 D5 Eb5 )
Too late for you, too late for me
Eb5              F5
You've come so far
             Bb5    D5       G5
Now you know everything my friend
 C5                               Eb5
(Come and see the wonders of our world...)

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?
