Verse:
E         G#m          C#m    B          A 
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
E                     G#m   C#m
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
       B       A
Gonna make it right
   E               G#m    C#m            B
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
A
This wind is blowin' my mind
           E            G#m             C#m      
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
B         A
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs


Bridge:
F#m                  G#m
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
A                G#m
And a one man's soul
F#m                           G#m
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
             A             B
'Cause they got nowhere to go
B
That's why I want you to know


Chorus:
E    G#m               A          B
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
E    G#m            A         B
I'm asking him to change his ways
E        G#m               A           Bb
And no message could have been any clearer
         B
If you wanna make the world a better place
                                          E   G#m   C#m   B   A
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah



Verse 2:
E            G#m     C#m         B
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
A
It's time that I realize
                E           G#m          C#m        B
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
              A
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

Bridge:
F#m                      G#m
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
A                  G#m
And a washed-out dream
      F#m                       G#m
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
           A                B
Cause they got no where to be
                             E
That's why I'm starting with me


Chorus:
E    G#m               A          B

I'm asking him to change his ways
E        G#m               A           Bb
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 then make a change

You gotta get it right, while you got the time

You can't close your, your mind
     Am         Bb        C        F        Am  Bb  C  
That man, that man, that man, that man, oh yeah
