[Verse]
G# D#/G Fm7 D# C#9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
G# D#/G Fm7 D# C#9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
G# D#/G Fm7 D# C#9
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
G# D#/G Fm7 D#
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
C#9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
A#m Cm C#9 Cm
C# summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
A#m Cm
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
C#9 D#
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
G# G#/C C# D#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G# G#/C C# D#
I'm asking him to change his ways
G# G#/C C# Bbdim
And no message could have been any clearer
D#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
G# D#/G
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Fm7 D# C#9
na na na, na na na na
[Verse]
G# D#/G Fm7 D# C#9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
G# D#/G Fm7 D#
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C#9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
A#m Cm
C# willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C#9 Cm
And a washed-out dream
A#m Cm
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
C#9 D#
'Cause they got no place to be
G#
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
G# G#/C C#9 D#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G# G#/C C#9 D#
I'm asking him to change his ways
G# G#/C C#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
D#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
D#m
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
D#m
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
D#m
'Cause when you close your heart
D#m G#
Then you close your, your mind
G#/C C#9 D#
oh yeah... oohh yeah
G# G#/C C#9 D#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G# G#/C C#9 D#
I'm asking him to change his ways
G# G#/C C#9 Bbdim
No message could have been any clearer
D#m
If you wanna make the world a better place
G# D#/G
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
Fm7 D# C#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh yeah
G# D#/G Fm7 D# C#9
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
