{section: Verse}
The riff's also in the verses; you can play these chords with it...
In my [Em]own little world it [C]hardly ever [G]rains
I've n[Em]ever gone hungry or [C]always felt [G]safe
I got some [Em]money in my pocket s[C]hoes on my fe[G]et
In my [Em]own little world
[C]Population [G]me

I [Em]try to stay awake through the [C]Sunday morning [G]church
I throw a [Em]twenty in the plate but I [C]never give 'til it h[G]urts
and I [Em]turn off the news when I [C]don't like what I [G]see
Yeah, it's [Em]easy to do when it's
[C]Population [G]me

{section: Chorus}
[D]  What if there's a [Em]bigger picture
[C]  What if I'm [G]missing out
[D]  What if there's a [Em]greater purpose
[C]  I could be [G]living right no[D]w, [C]ooh-[G]ooh
  Outside my [D]own little [C]world, [G]yea-[D]ah

{section: Verse}
[Em]Stopped at the red light, [C]looked out my win[G]dow
I saw a [Em]cardboard sign, said "[C]Help this homeless [G]widow"
Just a[Em]bove this sign was the [C]face of a [G]human
I [Em]thought to myself, "God, [C]what have I been doin[G]g?"

So I [Em]rolled down my window and I [C]looked her in the e[G]ye
Oh [Em]how many times have [C]I just passed her [G]by
I [Em]gave her some money then I [C]drove on [G]through
And my [Em]own little world reached
[C]Population [G]two

{section: Chorus}
[D]  What if there's a [Em]bigger picture
[C]  What if I'm [G]missing out
[D]  What if there's a [Em]greater purpose
[C]  I could be [G]living right no[D]w, [C]ooh-[G]ooh
  Outside my [D]own little [C]world, [G]yea-[D]ah

{section: Bridge}
Father, [Em]break my heart for [C]what breaks Y[G]ours
Give me [Em]open hands and [C]open d[G]oors
Put Your [Em]light in my eyes and [C]let me s[G]ee
That my [Em]own little world is [C]not about m[G]e

{section: Chorus}
[D]  What if there's a [Em]bigger picture
[C]  What if I'm [G]missing out
[D]  What if there's a [Em]greater purpose
[C]  I could be [G]living right no[D]w, [C]ooh-[G]ooh
  Outside my [D]own little [C]world, [G]yea-[D]ah
