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