[Am] As I wander, [G] what went [F] wrong with our love?
Love that was [E] so strong.
[Am] And as I still walk [G] down Africa,
When we're [F] done together,
While our [E] hearts were young.
[A] I'm not walking in the [F#m] rain,
Tears are falling and I feel a [A] pain,
Wishing you were here by [F#m] me,
To end this [A] misery I wonder,
[F#m] [A] Why [F#m] did she run away?
[D] And I wonder,
When you're [E] gonna stay?
I just [A] wanna run away,
[D] Run, [A] run, run, run away,
Wait [E] up!
