verse 1
E G#m7
I'm gonna make a change
C#m B A
For once in my life
E G#m7
It's gonna feel real good
C#m
Gonna make a difference,
B A
Gonna make it right
E G#m7
As I turned up the collar on
C#m B A
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing my mind
E G#m7
I see the kids in the street
C#m B
Without e-nough to eat
A
Could it be really me?
Pretending not to see their needs
F#m7
A summer's disregard
G#m7
A broken bottle top
A G#m7
And a one man's soul
F#m7
They follow the pattern
G#m7
Of the wind ya' know
A
Cause they got nowhere to go
B
That's why I want you to know
Hook
E G#m7 A B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror'
E G#m7 A B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E G#m7 A A#
And no message could have been any clearer
B
If you wanna make the world a better place
E
Take a look at yourself and make that change
G#m7 C#m
Change
B A
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
verse 2
E G#m7
I've been a victim of
C#m B A
A selfish kind of love
And it's time that I realized
E G#m7
There are some with no home
C#m B
Not a nickel to loan
A
Could it be really me pretending that they're not alone
F#m7
A willow deeply scarred
G#m7
Somebody's broken heart
A G#m7
And a washed out dream
F#m7
They follow the pattern
G#m7
Of the wind ya' see
A
Cause they got nowhere to be
B
That's why I'm starting with me
E G#m7 A B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror'
E G#m7 A B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E G#m7 A A#
And no message could have been any clearer
B
If you wanna make the world a better place
