[Intro]
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9 E
[Verse]
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
A E/Ab F#m7 E
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
D9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Bm C#m D9 C#m
D summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
Bm C#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
D9 E
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
A A/Db D E
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
A A/Db D E
I'm asking him to change his ways
A A/Db D Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
Em
If you wanna make the world a better place
A E/Ab
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
F#m7 E D9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
A E/Ab F#m7 E
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
D9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Bm C#m
D willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
D9 C#m
And a washed-out dream
Bm C#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
D9 E
'Cause they got no place to be
A
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
A A/Db D9 E
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
A A/Db D9 E
I'm asking him to change his ways
A A/Db D9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Em
If you wanna make the world a better place
Em
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
Em
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
Em
'Cause when you close your heart
Em A
Then you close your, your mind
A/Db D9 E
oh yeah... oohh yeah
A A/Db D9 E
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
A A/Db D9 E
I'm asking him to change his ways
A A/Db D9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
Em
If you wanna make the world a better place
A E/Ab
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
F#m7 E D9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
A E/Ab F#m7 E D9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
