B            C#m7
I'm gonna make a change,
    B         A9
for once im my life
           E         B
It's gonna feel real good,
C#m7                 B
gonna make a diference
       A
Gonna make it right...
      E            B
As I, turn up the collar on
C#m           B
my favorite winter coat
 A
This wind is blowing my mind
          E                  B
I see the kids in the streets,
C#m
with not enought to eat
       B      A9
Who am I    to be blind?

Pretending not to see their needs
F#m              B
A summer disregard,
            A9
a broken bottle top
      B
And a one man soul
F#m                                       B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
            A                  A/B
'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

CHORUS
E      B             A9      A/B            
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E      B          A9      A/B      
I'm asking him to change his ways
E     B                   A           Bb?
And no message could have been any clearer
A#5/B
If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
E      B/Eb      C#m      B/Eb  A            A/B
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)


 E                  B        C#m                  B
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
A
It's time that I realize
E                  B        C#m                  B
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
A                  A/B
Could it be really me,

pretending that they're not alone?
F#m               B                     A9
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
              B
And a washed-out dream
F#m                                    B
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
          A9
'Cause they got no place to be


      A/B
That's why I'm starting with me

Chorus Repeat
E      B4/Ab            A9      A/B            
I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways
E     B4/Ab            A            Bb?
And no message could have been any clearer
A#5/B
If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself, and then make the change

You gotta get it right, while you got the time
                            E
Then you close your... mind!
     E          B        A          A/B        
That man, that man, that man, that man
E     B4/Ab            A            Bb?
And no message could have been any clearer
A#5/B
If you wanna make the world a better place   

Take a look at yourself, and then make the change
E      B/Eb      C#m      B/Eb  A            A/B
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
