“hosea’s wife”
Em
i just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
Am
she had a heart with hesitant , halting speech
Em
that turned to mine and asked belligerently
Am
“what do i live for?”

Em
i see the scars of searches everywhere i go
Am
from hearts to wars to literature to radio
Em
there’s a question like a shame no one will show
Am
“what do i live for?”

C
we are hosea’s wife
D
we are squandering this life
Em Am
using people like laddErs and words like knives

[ chorus ]
C
if we’ve eyes to see
Em
if we’ve ears to hear
D
to find it in our hearts and mouths
Am
the word that saves is near
C
shed that shallow skin
Em
come and live again
D
leave all you were before
Am
to believe is to begin

vs 2 :
Em
there is truth in little corners of our lives
Am
there are hints of it in songs and children’s eyes
Em
it’s familiar , like an ancient lullaby
Am
what do i live for?

C
we are hosea’s wife
D
we are squandering this life
Em Am
using people like laddErs and words like knives

[ chorus ]

[ bridge ]
Am Em
we are more than dust
C
that means something
Am
that means something
Am Em
we are more than just
C
blood and emotions
Am
inklings and notions
D Bm
atoms on oceans

[ chorus x2 ]
