G D4 / F# Em7
I'm gonna make a change,
D4 / F# Csus2
for once im my life
G D4 / F#
It's gonna feel real good,
Em7 D4 / F#
gonna make a diference
Csus2
Gonna make it right...
G D4 / F#
As I, turn up the collar on
Em D4 / F#
my favorite winter coat
Csus2
This wind is blowing my mind
G D4 / F#
I see the kids in the streets,
Em7
with not enought to eat
D4 / F# Csus2
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
Am7 Dsus4 / B
A summer disregard,
Csus2
a broken bottle top
Dsus4 / B
And a one man soul
Am7 Dsus4 / B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
C C / D
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
CHORUS
G Dsus4 / B Csus2 C / D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
G Dsus4 / B C C#dim
And no message could have been any clearer
C5 / D
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
G D / F# Em D / F# C C / D
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
G D / F# Em D / F#
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
C
It's time that I realize
G D / F# Em D / F#
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C C / D
Could it be really me,
pretending that they're not alone?
Am7 Dsus4 / B Csus2
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
Dsus4 / B
And a washed-out dream
Am7 sus4 / B
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
Csus2
'Cause they got no place to be
C / D
That's why I'm starting with me
Chorus Repeat
G Dsus4 / B Csus2 C / D
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
G Dsus4 / B C C#dim
And no message could have been any clearer
C5 / D
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that...
G#
