[Intro]
G D/F# Em D C
[Verse]
G D/F# Em7 D C
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
G D/F# Em7 D C
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
G D/F# Em7 D C
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
G D/F# Em7 D
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
Am7 G/B
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
C G/B
And a one man's soul
Am7 G/B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
C C/D
'Cause they got nowhere to go
G
That's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
G G/B C C/D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G G/B C C/D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G G/B C A/C#
And no message could have been any clearer
D7#9
If you wanna make the world a better place
G D/F#
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
[Interlude]
Em7 D C D Em7 D/F#
Na na na, na na na na, na na, na na, uh-huh
[Verse]
G D/F# Em7 D C
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
G D/F# Em7 D
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Am7 G/B
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C G/B
And a washed-out dream
Am7 G/B
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
C C/D
'Cause they got no place to be
G
That's why I'm starting with me
[Chorus]
G G/B C C/D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G G/B C C/D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G G/B C A/C#
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 a change
G G/B C C/D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G G/B C C/D
I'm asking him to change his ways
G G/B C A/C#
And no message could have been any clearer
D7#9
If you wanna make the world a better place
[Chorus]
G# G#/C C# C#/D#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G# G#/C C# C#/D#
I'm asking him to change his ways
G# G#/C C# A#/D
No message could have been any clearer
D#7#9
If you wanna make the world a better place
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
G
You can't, close your, mind
G# G#/C C# C#/D#
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G# G#/C C# C#/D#
I'm asking him to change his ways
G# G#/C C# A#/D
No message could have been any clearer
D#7#9
If you wanna make the world a better place
G# D#/G
Take a look at yourself and then make that change
