[Intro]
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9 C#
[Verse]
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
B9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
G#m A#m B9 A#m
B summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
G#m A#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
B9 C#
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
F# F#/A# B C#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F# F#/A# B C#
I'm asking him to change his ways
F# F#/A# B Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
C#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
F# C#/F
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
D#m7 C# B9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
F# C#/F D#m7 C#
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
B9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
G#m A#m
B willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
B9 A#m
And a washed-out dream
G#m A#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
B9 C#
'Cause they got no place to be
F#
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
F# F#/A# B9 C#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F# F#/A# B9 C#
I'm asking him to change his ways
F# F#/A# B9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
C#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
C#m
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
C#m
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
C#m
'Cause when you close your heart
C#m F#
Then you close your, your mind
F#/A# B9 C#
oh yeah... oohh yeah
F# F#/A# B9 C#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F# F#/A# B9 C#
I'm asking him to change his ways
F# F#/A# B9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
C#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
F# C#/F
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
D#m7 C# B9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
F# C#/F D#m7 C# B9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
