Am Em F C G In the moat of the castle was where the duke of something's wife drowned Am Em F E E7 And the eyes of her portrait seemed to follow him around F C F C The bank foreclosed on his dungeon when the duke was late in paying F C F E E7 And now he looks at her picture and he seems to hear it saying F G F G "What's it like to be alive?" C Dm And she's got no answer to that C F She's got no answer that she can hear G C F G C F G Though she may wonder, she doesn't get an answer Am Em F C G Framed in the diorama is the art of the taxidermist Am Em F E E7 Realistically frozen as it's pouncing with a grimace F C F C Light gleams off of the marbles in the sockets where its eyes were F C F E E7 And every time they twinkle it's like a question from the tiger F G F G "What's it like to be alive?" C Dm And he gets no answer to that C F He gets no answer, he won't know G C F G C He'll always wonder, he doesn't get an answer Bridge: Em F C G Close the window when you hear the howling wind Em F Dm G G7 It's just a query and you mustn't let it in Am Em F C G On the southeast expressway, where they found the empty stroller Am Em F E E7 Being blown by the traffic through the trash along the shoulder F C F C Was it the ghost of somebody who decided not to begin F C F E E7 And under the sound of the car horns can you hear a small voice asking F G F G "What's it like to be alive?" C Dm And there is no answer to that C F There is no answer, no one tells G C F G C There is no answer, there isn't any answer F G C Dm And they get no answer to that C F They get no answer they can hear G C F G C Though they may wonder, there isn't any answer
