My Own Little World

Matthew West

Text File

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.] 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... 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
