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 From hearts to wars to literature to radio 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!!
