Hosea's Wife Brooke Fraser
She had a heart[Am9] with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to m[Em7]ine and asked belligerently, "What do I l[Am9]ive for?"
I see the s[Em7]cars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to [Am9]wars to literature to radio
There's a ques[Em7]tion like a shame no one will show,
"What do I l[Am9]ive for?"
We are [C]Hosea's wife
We are [D]squandering this life
Using [Em]people like ladders and words like [A]knives
Chorus:
If we've eyes to [C]see
If we've ears to [Em]hear
To find it in our [D]hearts and mouths, the word that saves[Am] is near
Shed that shallow [C]skin
Come and live [Em]again
Leave all you were be[D]fore
To believe is to be[Am9]gin
Verse 2:
There is a [Em7]truth in little corners of our lives
There are hi[Am9]nts of it in songs and childrens' eyes
It's fa[Em7]miliar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I l[Am9]ive for?
We are [C]Hosea's wife
We are [D]squandering this life
Using [Em]Bodies like money and truth like [A]lies
Chorus:
If we've eyes to [C]see
If we've ears to [Em]hear
To find it in our [D]hearts and mouths, the word that saves[Am] is near
Shed that shallow [C]skin
Come and live [Em]again
Leave all you were be[D]fore
To believe is to be[Am]gin
Bridge:
We are more than dust[Em]
That mea[C]ns something
That means[A] something
[Am]We are more than ju[Em]st
blood and em[C]otions, inklings an[A]d notions,
atoms[D] on oceans [B7]
We are [C]Hosea's wife
We are [D]squandering this life
Using [Em]people like ladders and words like knives[A]
Chorus (2X):
If we've eyes to [C]see
If we've ears to [Em]hear
To find it in our [D]hearts and mouths, the word that saves[Am] is near
Shed that shallow [C]skin
Come and live [Em]again
Leave all you were be[D]fore
To believe is to be[Am]gin
[Em]To bel[D]ieve is to b[C]egin
[Em]To bel[D]ieve is to b[C]egin
[Em]To bel[D]ieve is to b[C]egin
Hope it sounds good you : )
