Verse 1:
Em7 Em7 (or 9)
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
Am9 Am9
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
Em7 Em7 Am9 Am9
That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?"
Em7 Em7
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
Am9 Am9
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
Em7 Em7
There's a question like a shame no one will show,
Am9 Am9
"What do I live for?"

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


Chorus:
C C
If we've eyes to see
Em Em
If we've ears to hear
D D Am Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near
C C
Shed that shallow skin
Em Em
Come and live again
D D
Leave all you were before
Am9 Am9
To believe is to begin


Verse 2:
Em7 Em7
There is a truth in little corners of our lives
Am9 Am9
There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes
Em7 Em7
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
Am9 Am9
What do I live for?

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


Chorus:
C C
If we've eyes to see
Em Em
If we've ears to hear
D D Am Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near
C C
Shed that shallow skin
Em Em
Come and live again
D D
Leave all you were before
Am Am
To believe is to begin



Bridge:
Em Em
We are more than dust
C C
That means something
A A
That means something
Am Am Em Em
We are more than just
C C A A
blood and emotions, inklings and notions,
D D B7 B7
atoms on oceans

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


Chorus (2X):
C C
If we've eyes to see
Em Em
If we've ears to hear
D D Am Am
To find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near
C C
Shed that shallow skin
Em Em
Come and live again
D D
Leave all you were before
Am Am
To believe is to begin



Em Em D D C C
To believe is to begin
Em Em D D C C
To believe is to begin
Em Em D D C C
To believe is to begin
