[Intro]
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9 A#
[Verse]
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
D# A#/D Cm7 A#
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
G#9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Fm Gm G#9 Gm
G# summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
Fm Gm
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
G#9 A#
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
D# D#/G G# A#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D# D#/G G# A#
I'm asking him to change his ways
D# D#/G G# Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
A#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
D# A#/D
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Cm7 A# G#9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
D# A#/D Cm7 A#
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
G#9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Fm Gm
G# willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
G#9 Gm
And a washed-out dream
Fm Gm
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
G#9 A#
'Cause they got no place to be
D#
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
D# D#/G G#9 A#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D# D#/G G#9 A#
I'm asking him to change his ways
D# D#/G G#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
A#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
A#m
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
A#m
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
A#m
'Cause when you close your heart
A#m D#
Then you close your, your mind
D#/G G#9 A#
oh yeah... oohh yeah
D# D#/G G#9 A#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D# D#/G G#9 A#
I'm asking him to change his ways
D# D#/G G#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
A#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
D# A#/D
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Cm7 A# G#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
D# A#/D Cm7 A# G#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
