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

If you wanna make the world a better place
                                          G 
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
