[Intro]
D A/Db Bm7 A G9 A
[Verse]
D A/Db Bm7 A G9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
D A/Db Bm7 A G9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
D A/Db Bm7 A G9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
D A/Db Bm7 A
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
G9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Em F#m G9 F#m
G summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
Em F#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
G9 A
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
D D/Gb G A
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D D/Gb G A
I'm asking him to change his ways
D D/Gb G Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
Am
If you wanna make the world a better place
D A/Db
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Bm7 A G9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
D A/Db Bm7 A G9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
D A/Db Bm7 A
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
G9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Em F#m
G willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
G9 F#m
And a washed-out dream
Em F#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
G9 A
'Cause they got no place to be
D
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
D D/Gb G9 A
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D D/Gb G9 A
I'm asking him to change his ways
D D/Gb G9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Am
If you wanna make the world a better place
Am
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Am
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Am
'Cause when you close your heart
Am D
Then you close your, your mind
D/Gb G9 A
oh yeah... oohh yeah
D D/Gb G9 A
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
D D/Gb G9 A
I'm asking him to change his ways
D D/Gb G9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Am
If you wanna make the world a better place
D A/Db
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Bm7 A G9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
D A/Db Bm7 A G9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
