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)
