Well I came a long way to be here today and

As I gaze around at these strangers in town I
C
guess the only stranger is me...
Chorus;

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
every thing 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

As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people
C D
never speak aloud... with it's ivory towers and it's plastic

flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face in stead of this place now I know what
C
you mean to me. Ohhhh
