[Intro]
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9 F#
[Verse]
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
B F#/A# G#m7 F#
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
E9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
C#m D#m E9 D#m
E summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
C#m D#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
E9 F#
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
B B/Eb E F#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
B B/Eb E F#
I'm asking him to change his ways
B B/Eb E Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
F#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
B F#/A#
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
G#m7 F# E9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
B F#/A# G#m7 F#
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
E9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
C#m D#m
E willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
E9 D#m
And a washed-out dream
C#m D#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
E9 F#
'Cause they got no place to be
B
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
B B/Eb E9 F#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
B B/Eb E9 F#
I'm asking him to change his ways
B B/Eb E9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
F#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
F#m
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
F#m
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
F#m
'Cause when you close your heart
F#m B
Then you close your, your mind
B/Eb E9 F#
oh yeah... oohh yeah
B B/Eb E9 F#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
B B/Eb E9 F#
I'm asking him to change his ways
B B/Eb E9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
F#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
B F#/A#
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
G#m7 F# E9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
B F#/A# G#m7 F# E9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
