[Intro]
G for 12 beats
[Verse 1]
G Well I came a long way to be here today and C I left you so long on this avenue... D And here I stand in the strangest land not G Knowing what to say or do... G As I gaze around at these strangers in town I C guess the only stranger is me...
[Chorus]
D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Verse 2]
G Although it's only a day since I was taken away and left C standing here looking in wonder... D Oh, the crowd at my feet, maybe it's just the old street but G everything that I know lies under...
And when I see what they've done to this place that was
C
home, shame is all that I feel... Ohhh[Chorus]
D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Bridge]
C D G D Em Too late, too late to cry the people say C D G Too late for you, too late for me... C D G D You've come so far, now you know ev'ry thing my Em friend C Just look and see the wonders of our world-----
[Bass solo]
G C D G
G C Oh---------------wah la...
[Chorus]
D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
[Verse 3]
G As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people C D never speak aloud... with its ivory towers and its plastic G flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place, now I know what
C
you mean to me. Ohhhh[Chorus]
D And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the G way life's meant to be...
(Through oh la la's G, C, D, G, C)
[Outro]
D And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this G the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh G Is this the way life's meant to be mmmmm D G Is this the way life's meant to be, I wanna know now D G Is this the way life's meant to be.
