Intro 1
[Strings]
(B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major)
Verse 1
Well, I (B flat major) came a long way to be here today
And I left you so long on this (E flat major) avenue
And (F major) here I stand, in the strangest land
Not knowing what to say (B flat major) or do
As I (B flat major) gaze around at these strangers in town
I guess the only stranger is (E flat major) me
And I (F major) wonder (yes, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?

Verse 2
Although it's (B flat major) only a day
since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in (E flat major) wonder
(it's your life, it's your life)
Oh, the (F major) ground at my feet,
maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies (B flat major) under
(it's your life, it's your life)
And when I (B flat major) see what they've done
to this place that was home
Shame is all that I feel (E flat major)
Oh, and I (F major) wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (...wonder, wonder,
wonder, wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Bridge 1
(E flat major) Too late, too late (F major) to cry,
the peo- (B flat major) ple (D/A) say (G minor)
(E flat major) Too late for you, (F major) too late for me (B flat major)
(E flat major) You've come so far, (F major)
now you know (B flat major) every (D/A) thing, my (G minor) friend
(C7) (Look and see the wonders of our (E flat major) world)
Solo 1
(B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major) (E flat major)
(F major) (F major) (F major) (B flat major)
(B flat major) (B flat major) (B flat major) (E flat major) (E flat major)
And I (F major) wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Verse 3
As I (B flat major) wander around this wreck of a town
Where people never speak (E flat major) aloud
With its (F major) ivory towers and its plastic flowers
I wish I was back in nineteen (B flat major) eighty-one
Just to (B flat major) see your face, instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me, (E flat major) ooh
And I (F major) wonder (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Outro 1
(B flat major) (Ooh, la la la la la, la la la la la la, (E flat major) la)
(F major) (Ooh, la la la la la, (F major) la la la la la la, (B flat major) la la-la
(B flat major) (Ooh, la la la la la, la la la la la la, (E flat major) la)
And I won (F major) der (oh, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Ooh, I (F major) wonder
Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder
Is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Oh, oh (F major) oh, is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
Mm- mm, (F major) is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
I wanna know now,
(F major) is this the way life's meant to (B flat major) be?
