Ab        Eb/G       Fm      Eb         Db
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
           Ab        Eb/G               Fm                Eb      
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
     Ab         Eb/G       Fm        Eb            Db
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat this wind is blowin' my mind
          Ab          Eb/G             Fm            Eb
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
          Db
Who am I, to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs

Bbm7                Db/C
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
Db                Db/C
 And a one man's soul
     Bbm7                      Db/C
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
            Db                Eb
'Cause they got nowhere to go
                              Ab
That's why I want you to know


Chorus:
Ab    Ab/C              Db         Eb
  I'm starting with the man in the mirror
  I'm asking him to    change his ways

Ab       Ab/C               Db       Bb/D
  And no message could have been any clearer

       Ebm
If you wanna make the world a better place
                                         Ab  Eb/G Fm Eb Db  Eb
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change



Ab         Eb/G      Fm        Eb            Db
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize

          Ab           Eb/G        Fm             Eb
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
            Db
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?


Bbm7                   Db/C
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
Db               Db/C
 And a washed-out dream
     Abm7                      Db/C
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
           Db                Eb
Cause they got no place to be
                               Ab
That's why I'm starting with me


Chorus X2


A    A/Db              D          E
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
 I'm asking him to    change his ways

A    A/Db              D       B/Eb
 No message could have been any clearer
       Em
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make the change
You gotta get it right, while you got the time
'Cause when you close your heart
                       A
Then you close your... mind!


I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
I'm asking him to change his ways
No message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that change


A  E/Ab Gbm  E D
