The Way Life's Meant To Be - Electric Light Orchestra
By: Sam and Glen Guthrie
Capo: 3
[Intro]
G for 12 beats
[Verse 1]
G
Well I came a long way to be here today and
C
I left you so long on this avenue...
D
And here I stand in the strangest land not
G
Knowing what to say or do...
As I gaze around at these strangers in town I
C
guess the only stranger is me...
[Chorus]
D
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
everything 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
[Chorus]
D
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the
G
way life's meant to be...
[Bridge]
F G C G Am
Too late, too late to cry the people say
F G C
Too late for you, too late for me...
F G C G
You've come so far, nah you know ev'ry thing my
Am
friend
F
Love can see the one that's out my way-----
[Bass solo]
G C D G
G C
Oh---------------wah la...
[Chorus]
D
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the
G
way life's meant to be...
[Verse 3]
G
As I wonder around this wreck of a town where people
C D
never speak aloud... with its ivory towers and its plastic
G
flowers I wish I was back in 1981
Just to see your face instead of this place, now I know what
C
you mean to me. Ohhhh
[Chorus]
D
And I wonder, yes I wonder... is this the
G
way life's meant to be...
(Through oh la la's G, C, D, G, C)
[Outro]
D
And I wonder, yes I wonder wonder wonder wonder is this
G
the way life's meant to be. Ohhhhhhh
G
Is this the way life's meant to be mmmmm
D G
Is this the way life's meant to be, I wanna know now
D G
Is this the way life's meant to be.
