[Verse]
[G]I'm gonna [D/F#]make a change,[Em]change, [D]for once in my [C]life
It's gonna [G]feel real [D/F#]good, gonna make a [Em]difference, [D]gonna make it [C]right
As I,[G]I, turn up [D/F#]the collar on[Em]on my favorite
[D]winter coat,[C] this wind is blowin' my mind
I see the [G]kids in the [D/F#]street, with not [Em]enough to eat [D]
Who am I, [C]to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
[Am7] A summer's disregard[C/B]disregard, a broken bottle top
[C] And a one man's s[C/B]soul
They [Am7]follow each other on the [C/B]wind ya' know
'Cause they [C]got nowhere to go [D]
That's why I want you to know [G]
[Chorus]
[G] I'm [G/B]starting with the [C]man in the [D]mirror
[G] I'm [G/B]asking him to [C]change his [D]ways
[G] And no [G/B]message could have [C]been any [A/C#]clearer
If you w[Dm]wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a chang[G]change [D/F#]
[Bridge]
[Em] Na na na,[D]na, na na na na, na [C]na, na na, uh-huh [D]
[Verse]
[G]I've been a [D/F#]victim of [Em]a selfish [D]kind of love,[C]love, It's time that I realize
There are [G]some with no [D/F#]home, not a [Em]nickel to loan [D]
Could it be [C]really me, pretending that they're not alone?
[Am7] A willow deeply scarred[C/B]scarred, somebody's broken heart
[C] And a washed-out [C/B]dream
They [Am7]follow the pattern of the [C/B]wind, ya' see
'Cause they [C]got no place to be[D]be
That's why I'm starting with me[G]me
[Chorus]
[Ab] I'm [Ab/C]starting with the [Db]man in the [Eb]mirror
[Ab] I'm [Ab/C]asking him to [Db]change his [Eb]ways
[Ab] No m[Ab/C]message could have [Db]been any [Bb/D]clearer
If you [Ebm]wanna make the world a better place
[Ab] Take[Ab/C]Take a look at yoursel[Db]yourself and then [Eb]make the change
[Ab] You [Ab/C]gotta get it right[Db]right, while you[Eb]you got the time
[Ab] 'Cau[Ab/C]'Cause when you close [Db]your heart [Eb]
[Bridge]
Then you close your, [Ab]mind
I'm [Ab/C]starting with the [Db]man in the [Eb]mirror
[Ab] I'm [Ab/C]asking him to [Db]change his [Eb]ways
[Ab] No m[Ab/C]message could have [Db]been any [Bb/D]clearer
If you [Ebm]wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that [Ab]change [Eb/G]
[Fm] Na na na,[Eb]na, na na na na, na [Db]na, na na,[Eb] oh y[Ab]eah [Eb/G]
