I'm giving you,

On count of three.

To show your stuff,
   Am7        D7
Or let it be...
    Am7         D7
I'm telling you;

Just watch your mouth.
  Am7            D7
I know your game;
     Am7          D7
What you're about.

Bridge 1:

           Bm7               C#m7
Well, they say the sky's the limit,
       Bm7              C#m7
And to me that's really true.
       Bm7                  C#m7
But my friend you have seen nothin';
     E7#9
Just wait 'till I get through...

            Am7      D7    Am7            D7
Because I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).

You know I'm bad, I'm bad, (really, really bad).

        Am7             D7   (n.c)
Just to tell you once a-gain; who's bad.

You're doin' wrong.
      Am7         D7
Gonna lock you up,
   Am7           D7
Be-fore too long.

7...MAN IN THE MIRROR... by Michael Jackson
------------------------...................

*from 'Bad' (1987)*


Verse 1:

G          D/F#          Em7
 I'm gonna make a change,
    D/F#       Cadd9
For once in my life.
           G         D/F#
It's gonna feel real good;
             Em7               D/F#    Cadd9
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right.

Verse 2:

     G           D/F#
As I turn up the collar,
   Em          D/F#
On my favorite winter coat,
Cadd9
 This wind is blowing my mind.
	  G           D/F#
I see the kids in the streets,
           Em7          D/F#
With not e-nough to eat,
       Cadd9
Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs.

Bridge 1:

Am7                  Dsus4
 A summer disregard, a broken bottle top,
Cadd9            Dsus
 And a one man's soul.
Am7                            Dsus4
 They follow each other on the wind, ya' know,
          c              C/D
'Cos they got nowhere to go; that's why I want you to know;

Chorus 1:

G    GaddA/B           Cadd9      C/D
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror;
G    GaddA/B       Cadd9      C/D
 I'm asking him to change his ways.
G       GaddA/B             c        C#dim
 And no message, could have been any clearer;
       D7+9
If you wanna make the world a better place,
                                 G
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

Interlude:

G  D/F#	 Em         D/F#                C/D  D  Em7  D/F#
          Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah.

Verse 2:

G            D/F#      Em         D/F#
 I've been a victim of, a selfish kind of love,
Cadd9
 It's time that I realise;
               G            D/F#        Em7            D/F#
That there are some with no home; not a nickel to loan,
c                           C/D
 Could it be really me, pre-tending they're not alone?

Bridge 2:

Am7                       Dsus4
 A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart,
Cadd9             Dsus4
 And a washed out dream.
     Am7                       Dsus4
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see,
          Cadd9           C/D
'Cos they got no place to be; that's why I'm starting with me.

Chorus 2:

G    GaddA/B           Cadd9      C/D
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror;
G    GaddA/B       Cadd9      C/D
 I'm asking him to change his ways.
G       GaddA/B             c        C#dim
 And no message, could have been any clearer;
       D7+9
If you wanna make the world a better place,
                                 G
Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

Chorus 3:

G    GaddA/B           Cadd9      C/D
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror;
G    GaddA/B       Cadd9      C/D

G#      G#addA#/c           C#       Ddim
 And no message, could have been any clearer;

If you wanna make the world a better place,
Take a look at yourself and then make that change.
You gotta get it right, while you got the time,

Am                     G               F                  E7
 There's a sign in the window, that he struck you; a cres-cendo, Annie.
Am                 G                      F                   E7
 He came into your apartment; he left the bloodstains, on the carpet.
Am                     G                 F                   E7
 Then you ran into the bedroom; you were struck down; it was your doom.

Chorus 4:

Am             G            F                    E7
 Annie are you ok? Will you tell us, that you're ok?
Am                     G               F                  E7
 There's a sign in the window, that he struck you; a cres-cendo, Annie.
Am                 G                      F                   E7
 He came into your apartment; he left the bloodstains, on the carpet.
Am                     G                 F                   E7
 Then you ran into the bedroom; you were struck down; it was your doom.
