[Intro]
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9 B
[Verse]
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
E B/Eb C#m7 B
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
A9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
F#m G#m A9 G#m
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
F#m G#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
A9 B
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
E E/Ab A B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E E/Ab A B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E E/Ab A Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
Bm
If you wanna make the world a better place
E B/Eb
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
C#m7 B A9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
E B/Eb C#m7 B
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
A9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
F#m G#m
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A9 G#m
And a washed-out dream
F#m G#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
A9 B
'Cause they got no place to be
E
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
E E/Ab A9 B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E E/Ab A9 B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E E/Ab A9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Bm
If you wanna make the world a better place
Bm
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Bm
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Bm
'Cause when you close your heart
Bm E
Then you close your, your mind
E/Ab A9 B
oh yeah... oohh yeah
E E/Ab A9 B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E E/Ab A9 B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E E/Ab A9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Bm
If you wanna make the world a better place
E B/Eb
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
C#m7 B A9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
E B/Eb C#m7 B A9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
