Electric Light Orchestra - The way life's meant to be

Well I

came a long way to be here today and

I left you so long on this

avenue...

And

here I stand in the strangest land 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...

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...

Oh the

crowd at my feet maybe it's just the old street

But everything that I know lies

under...

And when I see what they've done to this place that was home,

shame is all that I

feel...

And I

wonder, yes I wonder...

Is this the way life's meant to

be...

friend 

Love can see the one that's out my way

And I

wonder, yes I wonder...

Is this the way life's meant to

be...

As I

wonder 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 19

Just to see your face instead of this place

Now I know what you mean to

me.

Ohhhh

And I

wonder, yes I wonder...

Is this the way life's meant to

be...

And I

wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder

is this the way life's meant to

be.

Oh, Is this the way life's meant to

Mmm,

D
  Is this the way life's meant to  
G
be.
