Lyrics
As I walk a long I (Eb)won der what went wrong with (Db)our love, a love that was so (C7)strong.
And as I still walk on I (Eb)think of the things we’ve done to (Db)geth er while our hearts were (C7)young.
I’m a walk in’ in the rain.
Tears are fall in’ and I feel a pain, a wish in’ you were here by me
to end this mis er y.
And I (F)won der, wo wo wo wo (Dm)won der
(F)why,
why, why, why, why, (Dm)why she ran a way.
And I (F)won der
where she will (C7)stay,
my lit tle (F)run a way, (Bb)run run run run (F)run a way.
