My Own Little World

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.]

Verse: The riff's also in the verses; you can play these chords with it...

In my own little world it hardly ever rains

I've never gone hungry or always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet

In my own little world

Population me

I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church

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

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

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

Population me

Chorus:

What if there's a bigger picture

What if I'm missing out

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

Outside my own little world, yea-ah

Verse:

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window

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

Just above this sign was the face of a human

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

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

Oh how many times have I just passed her by

I gave her some money then I drove on through

And my own little world reached

Population two

Chorus:

What if there's a bigger picture

What if I'm missing out

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

Outside my own little world, yea-ah

Bridge:

Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours

Give me open hands and open doors

Put Your light in my eyes and let me see

That my own little world is not about me

Chorus:

What if there's a bigger picture

What if I'm missing out

What if there's a greater purpose

I could be living right now, ooh-ooh

Outside my own little world, yea-ah
