[Intro]
C G/Cb Am7 G F9 G
[Verse]
C G/Cb Am7 G F9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
C G/Cb Am7 G F9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
C G/Cb Am7 G F9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
C G/Cb Am7 G
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
F9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Dm Em F9 Em
F summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
Dm Em
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
F9 G
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
C C/Fb F G
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C C/Fb F G
I'm asking him to change his ways
C C/Fb F Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
Gm
If you wanna make the world a better place
C G/Cb
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Am7 G F9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
C G/Cb Am7 G F9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
C G/Cb Am7 G
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
F9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Dm Em
F willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
F9 Em
And a washed-out dream
Dm Em
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
F9 G
'Cause they got no place to be
C
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
C C/Fb F9 G
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C C/Fb F9 G
I'm asking him to change his ways
C C/Fb F9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Gm
If you wanna make the world a better place
Gm
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Gm
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Gm
'Cause when you close your heart
Gm C
Then you close your, your mind
C/Fb F9 G
oh yeah... oohh yeah
C C/Fb F9 G
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
C C/Fb F9 G
I'm asking him to change his ways
C C/Fb F9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Gm
If you wanna make the world a better place
C G/Cb
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Am7 G F9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
C G/Cb Am7 G F9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
