Note that it sounds like she's playing with 7s and 9s. I didn't necessarily write them in. =/
Verse 1:
Em7 (or 9) I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me Am9 She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech Em7 Am9 That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?" Em7 I see the scars of searches everywhere I go Am9 From hearts to wars to literature to radio Em7 There's a question like a shame no one will show, Am9 "What do I live for?" C We are Hosea's wife D We are squandering this life Em A 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 Am9 To believe is to begin
Verse 2:
Em7 There is a truth in little corners of our lives Am9 There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes Em7 It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby Am9 What do I live for? C We are Hosea's wife D We are squandering this life Em A 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:
Em We are more than dust C That means something A That means something Am Em We are more than just C A blood and emotions, inklings and notions, D B7 atoms on oceans C We are Hosea's wife D We are squandering this life Em A Using people like ladders and words like knives
Chorus (2X):
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 Em D C To believe is to begin Em D C To believe is to begin Em D C To believe is to begin
Hope it sounds good you : )
