Capo 6
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.]

Em C G
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
Em C G
I've never gone hungry or always felt safe
Em C G
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
Em
In my own little world
C G
Population me
Em C G
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
Em C G
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts
Em C G
and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see
Em
Yeah, it's easy to do when it's
C G
Population me
Chorus:
D Em
What if there's a bigger picture
C G
What if I'm missing out
D Em
What if there's a greater purpose
C G D C G
I could be living right now, ooh-ooh
D C G D
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Verse:
Em C G
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
Em C G
I saw a cardboard sign, said "Help this homeless widow"
Em C G
Just above this sign was the face of a human
Em C G
I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"
Em C G
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Em C G
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
Em C G
I gave her some money then I drove on through
Em
And my own little world reached
C G
Population two
Chorus:
D Em
What if there's a bigger picture
C G
What if I'm missing out
D Em
What if there's a greater purpose
C G D C G
I could be living right now, ooh-ooh
D C G D
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Bridge:
Em C G
Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours
Em C G
Give me open hands and open doors
Em C G
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
Em C G
That my own little world is not about me
Chorus:
D Em
What if there's a bigger picture
C G
What if I'm missing out
D Em
What if there's a greater purpose
C G D C G
I could be living right now, ooh-ooh
D C G D
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
