Hosea's Wife Chords

(ver. 2)
Brooke Fraser
Verse

               Em
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
               Em
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
                Em                                      Em
That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?"
Em
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
Em
Em                                                           C
There's a question like a shame no one will show, "What do I live for?"


Pre-Chorus

       C
We are Hosea's wife
       D
We are squandering this life
      Em                                 D
Using people like ladders and words like knives


Chorus

                 C
If we've eyes to see
                 Em
If we've ears to hear
                  D                                     Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, 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


Verse

Em
There is a truth in little corners of our lives
Em
There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes
Em
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
          C
What do I live for?


Pre-Chorus

       C
We are Hosea's wife
       D
We are squandering this life
      Em                               D
Using Bodies like money and truth like lies


Chorus

                 C
If we've eyes to see
                 Em
If we've ears to hear
                  D                                     Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, 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


Bridge

D                Em
We are more than dust
     C
That means something
           D
That means something
D                 Em            C                  D
We are more than just blood and emotions, inklings and notions, atoms on
oceans


Pre-Chorus

       C
We are Hosea's wife
       D
We are squandering this life
      Em                                 D
Using people like ladders and words like knives


Chorus x 2

                 C
If we've eyes to see
                 Em
If we've ears to hear
                  D                                     Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, 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

(for last time chorus, last line)
C    D           Am
To believe is to begin
C    D           Am
To believe is to begin
C    D           C
To believe is to begin

Some of it might be wrong, and if it is, just listen to the song and you'll be able to 
it out. Enjoy!!
