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
         Am7
"What do I live for?"
           Em
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
               Am
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
           Em
There's a question like a shame no one will show
         Am7
"What do I live for?"
       C9
We are Hosea's wife
          D
We are squandering this life
      Em
Using people like ladders
                A9
And words like knives

                 C9
If we've eyes to see
                 Em
If we've ears to hear
                   D
To find it in our hearts and mouths
                   Am7
The word that saves   is near
                 C9
Shed that shallow skin
             Em
Come and live again
                   D
Leave all you were before
                 Am7
To believe is to begin
         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
        Am7
What do I live for?
       C9
We are Hosea's wife
          D
We are squandering this life
      Em
Using bodies like money
                A9
And truth like lies

Am7              Em
We are more than dust
          C9
That means something
          A
That means something
Am7              Em
We are more than just
           C9
Blood and emotions
      A
Inklings and notions
      D9       B4  B
Atoms on oceans
       C9
We are Hosea's wife
          D
We are squandering this life
      Em
Using people like ladders
                A9
And words like knives

                    Em
