[Intro]
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9 C
[Verse]
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
F C/Fb Dm7 C
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
A#9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Gm Am A#9 Am
A# summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
Gm Am
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
A#9 C
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
F F/A A# C
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F F/A A# C
I'm asking him to change his ways
F F/A A# Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
Cm
If you wanna make the world a better place
F C/Fb
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Dm7 C A#9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
F C/Fb Dm7 C
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
A#9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Gm Am
A# willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A#9 Am
And a washed-out dream
Gm Am
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
A#9 C
'Cause they got no place to be
F
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
F F/A A#9 C
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F F/A A#9 C
I'm asking him to change his ways
F F/A A#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Cm
If you wanna make the world a better place
Cm
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Cm
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Cm
'Cause when you close your heart
Cm F
Then you close your, your mind
F/A A#9 C
oh yeah... oohh yeah
F F/A A#9 C
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
F F/A A#9 C
I'm asking him to change his ways
F F/A A#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Cm
If you wanna make the world a better place
F C/Fb
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Dm7 C A#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
F C/Fb Dm7 C A#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
