Verse
[G] I'm gonna [D/F#] make a change,[Em] [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] turn up [D/F#] the collar on [Em] 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] a broken bottle top
[C] And a one man'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 [Dm] wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change[G] [D/F#]
Bridge
[Em] Na na na, [D] 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] 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] 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]
That's why I'm starting with me[G]
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 mes[Ab/C] sage could have [Db] been any [Bb/D] clearer
If you [Ebm] wanna make the world a better place
[Ab] Take [Ab/C] a look at yourself [Db] and then [Eb] make the change
[Ab] You [Ab/C] gotta get it right, [Db] while you [Eb] got the time
[Ab] 'Cause [Ab/C] 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 mes[Ab/C] sage 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[Db] na, na na, [Eb] oh [Ab] yeah[Eb/G]
