B A9
Gonna make it right...
E B/D#
As I, turn up the collar on
C#m B
my favorite winter coat
A9
This wind is blowing my mind
E B/D#
I see the kids in the streets,
C#m
with not enought to eat
B A9
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs
F#m G#m
A summer disregard,
A9
a broken bottle top
G#m
And a one man soul
F#m G#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
A9 A/B
'Cause they got nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
Chorus
E F#m G#m A/B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E F#m G#m A/B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E F#m A Bb°
And no message could have been any clearer
B7
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
E B/D# C#m B A9
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
E B/D# C#m B
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
A9
It's time that I realize
E B/D# C#m
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
B A9
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
F#m G#m
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A9 G#m
And a washed-out dream
F#m G#m
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
A9
'Cause they got no place to be
A/B
That's why I'm starting with me
Chorus Repeat

Then you close your... mind!
