Time (1981)
The Way Life's Meant To Be

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

As I gaze around at these strangers in town
I guess the only stranger is me
And I wonder (yes, I wonder), yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Although it's only a day since I was taken away
And left standing here looking in wonder (It's your life, it's your life)
Ah, the ground at my feet, maybe it's just the old street
But everything that I know lies under (It's your life, it's your life)

And when I see what they've done to this place that was home
Shame is all that I feel
Oh, and I wonder (oh, I wonder), yes, I wonder (wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

Eb               F
Too late, too late to cry
        Bb A  Dm
The people say
Bb              C                 F  F7
Too late for you, too late for me
Bb                C                 F     A        Dm
You've come so far, now you know everything my friend
   Eb                               C
Look and see the wonders of our world…

Solo:        Bb Eb F Bb

        F
And I wonder (oh, I wonder), yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
                                 Bb
Is this the way life's meant to be?
As I wander around this wreck of a town
Where people 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 instead of this place
Now I know what you mean to me
And I wonder (oh, I wonder), yes, I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

        C
And I wonder (oh, I wonder), yes, I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder
                                  F
Is this the way life's meant to be?
    C
Ooohh, I wonder, oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder
                                  F
Is this the way life's meant to be?

 C                                    F
Oh, is this the way life's meant to be?
 C                                    F
Mmmmm, is this the way life's meant to be?

I wanna know now
Is this the way life's meant to be?
