[Intro]
E    B/Eb    C#m7     B     A9 B

[Verse]
E       B/Eb         C#m7     B     A9
I'm gonna make a change,for once in my life
      E           B/Eb                  C#m7          B          A9
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
     E          B/Eb     C#m7        B               A9
As I, turn up the collar on  my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
          E           B/Eb              C#m7      B
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
            A9
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
F#m                    G#m                  A9            G#m
 A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top and a one man's soul
 F#m                             G#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
            A9             B
'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know


[Chorus]

E    E/Ab               A          B
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E    E/Ab               A          B
 I'm asking him to change his ways
E    E/Ab               A          Bbdim
 And no message could have been any clearer
         Bm
 If you wanna make the world a better place
                                           E      B/Eb
 Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
C#m7        B     A9
     na na na, na na na na

[Verse]
E           B/Eb      C#m7     B              A9
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
          E            B/Eb       C#m7       B
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
             A9
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
F#m                    G#m
 A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A9               G#m
 And a washed-out dream
     F#m                       G#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
            A9              B
'Cause they got no place to be
                               E
That's why I'm starting with me

[Chorus]
E    E/Ab               A9          B
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E    E/Ab               A9         B
 I'm asking him to change his ways
E    E/Ab               A9         Bbdim
 No message could have been any clearer
        Bm
 If you wanna make the world a better place
        Bm
 Take a look at yourself and then make the change
        Bm
 You gotta get it right, while you got the time
        Bm
 'Cause when you close your heart
        Bm                 E
 Then you close your, your mind
       E/Ab    A9   B
 oh yeah... oohh yeah

    E    E/Ab         A9          B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E    E/Ab          A9          B
 I'm asking him to change his ways
E    E/Ab               A9       Bbdim
 No message could have been any clearer
       Bm
If you wanna make the world a better place
                                            E        B/Eb
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
C#m7        B                    A9
  Na na na,  na na na na, na na, na na,   oh yeah
E       B/Eb         C#m7     B     A9
  Na na na,  na na na na, na na, na na, oh no, oh no
