Hoseas Wife Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I just spoke siEm7lence with the seeker next to me

 She had a heartAm9 with hesitant, halting speech

 That turned to mEm7ine and asked belligerently, "What do I lAm9ive for?"

 I see the sEm7cars of searches everywhere I go

 From hearts to Am9wars to literature to radio

 There's a quesEm7tion like a shame no one will show,

 "What do I lAm9ive for?"

 We are CHosea's wife

 We are Dsquandering this life

 Using Empeople like ladders and words like Aknives

Chorus

 If we've eyes to Csee

 If we've ears to Emhear

 To find it in our Dhearts and mouths, the word that savesAm is near

 Shed that shallow Cskin

 Come and live Emagain

 Leave all you were beDfore

 To believe is to beAm9gin

Verse 2

 There is a Em7truth in little corners of our lives

 There are hiAm9nts of it in songs and childrens' eyes

 It's faEm7miliar, like an ancient lullaby

 What do I lAm9ive for?

 We are CHosea's wife

 We are Dsquandering this life

 Using EmBodies like money and truth like Alies

Chorus

 If we've eyes to Csee

 If we've ears to Emhear

 To find it in our Dhearts and mouths, the word that savesAm is near

 Shed that shallow Cskin

 Come and live Emagain

 Leave all you were beDfore

 To believe is to beAmgin

Bridge

 We are more than dustEm

 That meaCns something

 That meansA something

AmWe are more than juEmst

 blood and emCotions, inklings anAd notions,

 atomsD on oceans B7

 We are CHosea's wife

 We are Dsquandering this life

 Using Empeople like ladders and words like knivesA

Chorus

2X):

 If we've eyes to Csee

 If we've ears to Emhear

 To find it in our Dhearts and mouths, the word that savesAm is near
