Verse 1:
Em7 (or 9)
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
Am9
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
Em7 Am9
That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?"
Em7
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
Am9
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
Em7
There's a question like a shame no one will show,
Am9
"What do I live for?"
C
We are Hosea's wife
D
We are squandering this life
Em A
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
Am9
To believe is to begin
Verse 2:
Em7
There is a truth in little corners of our lives
Am9
There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes

It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
Am9
What do I live for?

We are Hosea's wife

We are squandering this life

Using Bodies like money and truth like lies

If we've ears to hear

Shed that shallow skin

Leave all you were before

To believe is to begin

blood and emotions, inklings and notions,

atoms on oceans

We are squandering this life

Using people like ladders and words like knives

If we've eyes to see

If we've ears to hear
