[Verse 1] [D]I've lived in this town for 13 years I've [F#m]been around You see that [G]window in that [D]tower that was [A]mine Under that [D]fluorescent light, well I made cold calls through the night To [F#m]houses [G]deep in suburbs I will [D]never [A]go [D]Then in [A]Chinatown I'd get [Bm]something and hang around [F#m]How does that b[G]usker know [D]each day from the next? [A]See that man[D] who just brushed past me, well I know [Bm]him but don't [F#m]ask me About him I [G]wonder is he [D]still with his [A]wife What is [G]a life?[D] What is [A]a life? What is [G]a life? [D]What is a [A]life? The [D]ferries pull up [A]in the [D]evening [Bm]warmth I used to [D]give out papers [G]here as they [D]rushed on their way [A]home [D]The streets are full of [Bm]plaques Just where [D]that park is used [G]to be a den of [D]wailers, Jesus [A]Christ What is [G]a life?[D] What is [A]a life? What [G]is [D]a lif[A]e? What is a [G]life? [D]What is a [A]life? What is a [G]life? [D]What is a [A]life?[G][D][A][G] [D][A] [G]What [D]is [A]a l[D]ife[A]?[G][D][A] Of [D]all the jobs I've had, well I can't [Bm]say they've turned [D]out [F#m]bad It's [D]just [G]funny when you think [D]that guy was you[A][D][A] A [D]waiter on his break[Esus4], [D]he smokes a cigarette And [F#m]takes a [G]long look at a re[D]paired paring knife [Outro 1] [D][A]
