[Intro]
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9 G#
[Verse]
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
F#9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
D#m Fm F#9 Fm
F# summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
D#m Fm
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
F#9 G#
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
C# C#/F F# G#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C# C#/F F# G#
I'm asking him to change his ways
C# C#/F F# Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
G#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
C# G#/C
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
A#m7 G# F#9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
F#9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
D#m Fm
F# willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
F#9 Fm
And a washed-out dream
D#m Fm
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
F#9 G#
'Cause they got no place to be
C#
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
C# C#/F F#9 G#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C# C#/F F#9 G#
I'm asking him to change his ways
C# C#/F F#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
G#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
G#m
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
G#m
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
G#m
'Cause when you close your heart
G#m C#
Then you close your, your mind
C#/F F#9 G#
oh yeah... oohh yeah
C# C#/F F#9 G#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C# C#/F F#9 G#
I'm asking him to change his ways
C# C#/F F#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
G#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
C# G#/C
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
A#m7 G# F#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
C# G#/C A#m7 G# F#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
