Brooke Fraser - Hosea's Wife Chords

Kia Ora Peopl

"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
              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]
