Lyrics

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 (Bb)tle (F)run a way,

(Bb)run run run run (F)run a way.

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 (Bb)tle (F)run a way,

(Bb)run run run run (F)run a way.
