Hosea 1-3 
 
 F#2 
{ / / / / }{ / / / / } 
F#2                       G#m7 
Don't know what He sees in me, he is spirit, he is free 
  F#7M/A#         B2         G#m7             C#sus 
And I, the wife of adultery, Gomer is my name 
F#2                    G#m7 
Simply more than I can see how he keeps on forgiving me 
F#7M/A#          B2           G#m7  C#           F#2 
   How he keeps his sanity, Hosea, you're a fool 
 
Chorus: 
 F#7M/A#                      G#m7sus 
A fool to love someone like me, a fool to suffer silently 
   F#7M/A#                B2             G#m7    C#    F#2 
But sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool 
 
The fondness of a father, the passion of a child 

The tenderness of a loving friend, an understanding smile 

All of this and so much more you've lavished on a faithless whore 

I've never known love like this before, Hosea you're a fool 
 
Chorus 
     D#m      /C#      B2           /A# 
This God of yours would not have told 
   G#m7                    C# 
To lift a love that you couldn't hold 
         D#m              /C# B2           /A# 
And though time and time again I flee 
   G#m7                     C#sus          C# 
I'm always glad to see you coming after me 
 

 F#2                   G#m7 
{ / / / / }{ / / / / }{ / / / / }{ / / / / } 
F#7M/A#   B2             G#m7         C# 
{ / / / / }{ / / / / }{ / / / / }{ / / / / } 
 
Simply more than I can see, how he keeps on forgiving me 

The wife of adultery, and Gomer is my name
