Chords

Intro: The guitar riff is something like below (with sixteenth note 
variations)that is played over and over again. [Take note that strings make up a 
good amount of the song as well and can be reproduced with a synth/keyboard or in 
some cases guitar, but I have omitted it for the sake of simplicity.]

Verse: The riff's also in the verses; you can play these chords with it...
      Am                  F           C
In my own little world it hardly ever rains

      Am                  F           C
I've never gone hungry or always felt safe

           Am                  F            C
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet

      Am
In my own little world 

F          C
Population me

  Am                            F              C
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church

          Am                        F                   C
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts

      Am                       F                 C
and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see

           Am
Yeah, it's easy to do when it's 

F          C
Population me
Chorus:
G                   Am
  What if there's a bigger picture

F             C
  What if I'm missing out

G                   Am
  What if there's a greater purpose

F            C              G  F   C
  I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

             G          F      C   G
  Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Verse:
Am                        F                C
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window

        Am                    F                  C
I saw a cardboard sign, said "Help this homeless widow"

      Am                     F         C
Just above this sign was the face of a human

  Am                       F                    C
I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"

     Am                          F                  C
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye

   Am                  F                 C
Oh how many times have I just passed her by

  Am                         F        C
I gave her some money then I drove on through

       Am
And my own little world reached

F          C
Population two
Chorus:
G                   Am
  What if there's a bigger picture

F             C
  What if I'm missing out

G                   Am
  What if there's a greater purpose

F            C              G  F   C
  I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

             G          F      C   G
  Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Bridge:
        Am                 F            C
Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours

        Am             F     C
Give me open hands and open doors

         Am                   F       C
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see

        Am                  F          C
That my own little world is not about me
Chorus:
G                   Am
  What if there's a bigger picture

F             C
  What if I'm missing out

G                   Am
  What if there's a greater purpose

F            C              G  F   C
  I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

             G          F      C   G
  Outside my own little world, yea-ah
