Well, they say the sky's the limit,
       Bm7              C#m7
And to me that's really true.

Just wait 'till I get through...

Gonna lock you up, be-fore too long.
     Am7        D7     Am7            D7
Your lyin' eyes, gonna tell you right;

You know that you came, and you changed my world.
                                  F#m7b5
Just like in the movies, with two lovers in a scene,

I wait for the day, when you have to say "I do",
                                       Bsus4
And I'll smile and say it too, and for-ever we'll be true,

I love you, Liberian girl.

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

*from 'Bad' (1987)*


Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

     G           D/F#      Em           D/F#
As I turn up the collar on, my favorite winter coat,
Cadd9
 This wind is blowing my mind.
          G           D/F#                Em7          D/F#
I see the kids in the streets, 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            Dsus4
 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
 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,
Take a look at yourself and then make that...

*KEY CHANGE*

Chorus 4:

Ab
 Change...

    G#addA#/C         C#add9     C#/Eb
I'm starting with the man in the mirror;
Ab   G#addA#/C     C#add9     C#/Eb
 I'm asking him to change his ways.
Ab      G#addA#/C           C#       Ddim
 And no message, could have been any clearer;
       Eb7+9
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,
             (n.C)                                  (Ab)
'Cos when you close your heart, you can't close your mind.

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.
