Intro
| [G] [D/F#] | [Em] [D] | [C(add9)] | [C(add9)] [ [C/D] ] |
Verse
[G] [D/F#]
I'm gonna make a change
[Em] [D] [C(add9)] [ [C/D] ]
For once in my life
[G] [D/F#]
It's gonna feel real good
[Em] [D] [C(add9)]
Gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
Verse
[G] [D/F#]
As I turn up the collar on
[Em] [D]
My favorite winter coat
[C(add9)] [ [C/D] ]
This wind is blowing my mind
[G] [D/F#]
I see the kids in the street
[Em]
With not enough to eat
[D] [C(add9)]
Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
Bridge
[Am7] [G/B]
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
[C(add9)] [G/B]
And one man's soul (and a one man's soul)
[Am7] [G/B]
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
[C(add9)] [C/D] [ [G] ]
'Cause they got nowhere to go, that's why I want you to know
Chorus
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm asking him to change his ways
[G] [G7/B] [C] [C#dim]
And no message could have been any clearer
[Csus4/D]
If you want to make the world a better place
[Csus4/D] [ [G] ]
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Interlude
| [G] [D/F#] | [Em] [D] | [C(add9)] | [C(add9)] [ [C/D] ] |
(Na, na, na, ...)
Verse
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [D]
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
[C(add9)]
It's time that I realize
[G] [D/F#] [Em] [ [D] ]
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
[D] [C(add9)]
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Bridge
[Am7] [G/B]
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
[C(add9)] [G/B]
And a washed-out dream
[Am7] [G/B]
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
[C(add9)] [C/D] [ [G] ]
'Cause they got no place to be, that's why I'm starting with me
Chorus
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm asking him to change his ways
[G] [G/B] [C] [C#dim]
And no message could have been any clearer
[Csus4/D]
If you want to make the world a better place
[Csus4/D] [ [G] ]
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Chorus
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
[G] [G/B] [C] [D7sus4]
I'm asking him to change his ways
[G] [G/B] [C] [C#dim]
And no message could have been any clearer
[Csus4/D]
If you want to make the world a better place
[Csus4/D] [Csus4/D] [Csus4/D] [ break ]
Take a look at yourself, and then make that
Chorus
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Db/Eb]
Change! I'm starting with the man in the mirror
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Db/Eb]
I'm asking him to change his ways
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Ddim]
No message could have been any clearer
[Dbsus4/Eb]
If you want to make the world a better place
[Dbsus4/Eb]
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
[Dbsus4/Eb]
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
[Dbsus4/Eb] [Dbsus4/Eb] [Dbsus4/Eb] [ [Ab] ]
You can't close your, then you close your, mind!
Chorus
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Db/Eb]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Db/Eb]
I'm asking him to change his ways
[Ab] [Ab/C] [Db] [Ddim]
No message could have been any clearer
[Dbsus4/Eb]
If you want to make the world a better place
[Dbsus4/Eb]
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
