What if I Stumble?
DC Talk (off of _Jesus Freak_)

Forefront Commmunications Group, Inc.)
Intro:
F6-C-G
F6 C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
F6
Is this one for the people?
C G
Is this one for the Lord?
F6 C G
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
F6 C G
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
F6 C G
For holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame.
{Bridge}
Bb F C
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
Bb F C
They need your love in their lives
Compromise is calling
{Chorus}
C G E
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
Am F
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
C G E
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
Am F F6
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?
F6
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
F6 C-G
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
F6 C G
Father please forgive me for I can not compose
F6 C G
The fear that lives within me, or the rate at which it grows.
F6 C G
If struggle has a purpose on the narrow road you've carved
F6 C G
Why do I dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar?
Bb F C
Do they see the fear in my eyes?
Are they so revealing?
Bb F C
This time I can not disguise
All the doubt I'm feeling
{Chorus}
C-G-E-Am-F (x4)
F6 C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall!)
F6 C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .
F6 C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that your up against the wall
(It's about to fall!)
F6 C G
Everyone's got to crawl when you know that . . .
Bb F C
I hear you whispering my name, you say
Bb F C
My love for you will never change, never change
{Chorus} x 2
F6
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You never turn in the heat of it all.
F6
What if I stumble? What if I fall?
C G
You are my comfort, and my God!
F6
Is this one for the people?
C G
Is this one for the Lord?
F6-C-G
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DC TALK tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
