[Verse 1]
Gm         Dm
This might hurt
          F                         C
It’s not safe but I know that I’ve gotta make a change
Gm       Dm
I don’t care if I break
F                C
At least I’ll be feeling something
Gm             Dm
‘Cause just okay is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life

Dm               F
I don’t wanna go through the motions
C                Gm
I don’t wanna go one more day
Dm           F             C
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
Gm                    Dm
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
F             C          Bb
What if I had given everything?
 
Instead of going through the motions

I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind

Let Your love make me whole

Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

I think Rachelb is correct! Bb sounds better to me instead of the second F on "What if I had given everything" Other than that, Great tab! It plays nicely along with the recording! I lead worship at my church and really wanted to play this song! Keep up the good work!
