Lyrics and chord placement from the james morrison version.

Verse:
G         Bm          Em    D          C 
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
G                     Bm   Em
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
       D       C
Gonna make it right
   G               Bm    Em            D
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
C
This wind is blowin' my mind
           G            Bm             Em      
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
D         C
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs


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


Chorus:
G    Bm               C          D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G    Bm            C         D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G        Bm               C           C#
And no message could have been any clearer
         D
If you wanna make the world a better place
                                          G   Bm   Em   D   C
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah



Verse 2:
G            Bm     Em         D
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
C
It's time that I realize
                G           Bm          Em        D
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
              C
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?


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


Chorus:
G    Bm               C          D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G    Bm            C         D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G        Bm               C           C#
And no message could have been any clearer
         D
If you wanna make the world a better place
                                          G   
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
G    Bm               C          D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G    Bm            C         D
I'm asking him to change his ways

Eb7                          Ab
You can't close your, your mind
     Cm         C#        Eb        Ab        Cm  C#  Eb  
That man, that man, that man, that man, oh yeah
