[Verse]
GD/F#EmDC
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
GD/F#EmDC
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
GD/F#EmDC
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
GD/F#EmD
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Am7G/B
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
CG/B
And a one man's soul
Am7G/B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
CD
'Cause they got nowhere to go
G
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
GG/BCD
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
GG/BCD
I'm asking him to change his ways
GG/BCA/C#
And no message could have been any clearer
Dm
If you wanna make the world a better place
GD/F#
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
[Bridge]
EmDCD
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, uh-huh
[Verse]
GD/F#EmDC
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
GD/F#EmD
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Am7G/B
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
CG/B
And a washed-out dream
Am7G/B
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
CD
'Cause they got no place to be
G
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
GG/BCD
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
GG/BCD
I'm asking him to change his ways
GG/BCA/C#
And no message could have been any clearer
Dm
If you wanna make the world a better place
GD/F#
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
GG/BCD
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
GG/BCD
I'm asking him to change his ways
GG/BCA/C#
And no message could have been any clearer
Dm
If you wanna make the world a better place
GD/F#
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
[Key-Change]

AbAb/CDbEb

[Bridge]
