VERSE
G D/F#
I'm gonna make a change
Em D C(add9) [C/D]
For once in my life
G D/F#
It's gonna feel real good
Em D C(add9)
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
VERSE
G D/F#
As I turn up the collar on
Em D
My favorite winter coat
C(add9) [C/D]
This wind is blowing my mind
G D/F#
I see the kids in the street
Em
With not enough to eat
D C(add9)
Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
BRIDGE
Am7 G/B
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
C(add9)
And one man's soul (and a one man's soul)
Am7 G/B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
C(add9) C/D [G]
'Cause they got nowhere to go, that's why I want you to know
CHORUS
G G/B C D7sus4
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G G/B C D7sus4
I'm asking him to change his ways
G G7/B C C#dim
And no message could have been any clearer
Csus4/D
If you want to make the world a better place
Csus4/D [G]
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

VERSE
G D/F# Em D
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
C(add9)
It's time that I realize
G D/F# Em [D]
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
D C(add9)
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
BRIDGE
Am7 G/B
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C(add9) G/B
And a washed–out dream
Am7 G/B
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
C(add9) C/D [G]
'Cause they got no place to be, that's why I'm starting with me
CHORUS
G G/B C D7sus4
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
