[First Part]

G          D/F#          Em  D 
I'm gonna make a change,    for
             C
 once in my life

            G         D/F#          
It's gonna feel real good, gonna 

 Em          D             C
Difference, gonna make it right
     G          D/F#     Em  
As I, turn up the collar on  my 
          D
favorite
        C
Winter coat, this wind is blowin' my
 mind
           G             D/F#     
I see the kids in the street, with
       Em          D
 not enough to eat
           C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending 
not to see their needs

[Pre-Chorus]

Am7                  C/B
 A summer's disregard, a broken 
bottle top
C                 C/B
 And a one man's soul
      Am7                      C/B
They follow each other on the wind 
ya' know
             C                 D
'Cause they got nowhere to go
                              G
That's why I want you to know

[Chorus]

G     D4/B             C2        
I'm starting with the man in the 
 C/D
mirror
G   D4/B            C2        C/D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G     D4/B                  C   
And no message could have been 
     Db°
any clearer
C5+/D
If you wanna make the world a better
 place
Take a look at yourself, and then 
         G
make a change

G       D/F#    Em      D/F#  
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na
C         C/D
 nah)

[Second Part]

G            D/F#     Em         
I've been a victim of a selfish kind
D
 of love

C
It's time that I realize 

           G            D/F#      
There are some with no home, not a
  Em            D
 nickel to loan
             C
Could it be really me, pretending 
that they're not alone?

Am7                     C/B
 A willow deeply scarred, somebody's
 broken heart
C                   C/B
 And a washed-out dream
      Am7                       
They follow the pattern of the wind,
C/B
 ya' see
             C                D
'Cause they got no place to be
                               G
That's why I'm starting with me

[Chorus]

G     D4/B             C2        
I'm starting with the man in the 
 C/D
mirror
G   D4/B            C2        C/D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G     D4/B                  C   
And no message could have been 
     Db°
any clearer
C5+/D
If you wanna make the world a better
 place

Take a look at yourself, and then 
make that

Ab       Eb4/C            Db2    
I'm starting with the man in the 
 Db/Eb
mirror
Ab     Eb4/C         Db2      Db/Eb
I'm asking him to change his ways
Ab      Eb4/C         Db        
And no message could have been 
     D°
any clearer
Db5+/Eb
If you wanna make the world a better
 place

Take a look at yourself, and then 
make a change
