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!!
