Verse 1
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 stand, in the strangest land
Bb
Not knowing what to say or do
Bb
As I gaze around at these 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?
Verse 2
Bb
Although it's only a day
since I was taken away
Eb
And left standing here looking in wonder
(it's your life, it's your life)
F
Oh, the ground at my feet,
maybe it's just the old street
Bb
But every thing that I know lies under
(it's your life, it's your life)
Bb
And when I see what they've done
to this place that was home
Eb
Shame is all that I feel
F
Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (...wonder, wonder,
wonder, wonder)
Bb
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Verse 3
Bb
As I wander around this wreck of a town
Eb
Where people never speak aloud

With its ivory towers and its plastic flowers

I wish I was back in nineteen eighty-one

Just to see your face, instead of this place
Eb
Now I know what you mean to me, ooh

And I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
