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.] e-|-3-3-3-3-6---6---| B-|-3-3-3-3-3---3---| G-|-0-0-0-0-0---0---| D-|-----------------| A-|-----------------| E-|-----------------| P.M.---------X Accents: < <
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
