Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][D]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm gonna [D]make a change
[Em]For [D]once in my l[C]ife
It's gonna [G]feel real [D]good
Gonna [Em]make a difference
[D]Gonna make it [C]right

[Verse 2]
As [G]I, turn up [D]the collar on
[Em]My favorite [D]winter coat
[C]This wind is blowing my mind
I see the [G]kids in the [D]streets
With [Em]not enough to e[D]at
Who am [C]I to be blind?

[Pre-chorus 1]
Pretending not to see their needs
[Am]A summer's disregard,
[G]a broken bottle top
[C]And a one man sou[G]l
They [Am]follow each other on the wind [G]ya' know
'Cause they [C]got nowhere to go
[D]That's why I want you to know

[Chorus 1]
[G]I'm starting with the[C] man in the mir[D]ror
[G]I'm asking him to [C]change his way[D]s
[G]And no message
[C]could have been any [A]clearer
If you [Dm]want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,

[Interlude 1]
and then make a change
[G][D][Em][D]
[C][D][Em][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]I've been a v[D]ictim of[Em]
a self[D]ish kind of [C]love
It's time that I realize
That there are [G]some with no [D]home,
[Em]not a nickel to [D]loan
Could it be [C]really me,

[Pre-chorus 2]
pretending that they're not alone?
[Am]A willow deeply scarred,
[G]somebody's broken heart
[C]And a washed-out dre[G]am
They [Am]follow the pattern of the wind [G]ya' see
'Cause they [C]got no place to [D]be

[Chorus 2]
That's why I'm starting with me
[G]I'm starting with the[C] man in the mir[D]ror
[G]I'm asking him to [C]change his way[D]s
[G]And no message
[C]could have been any [A]clearer
If you [Dm]want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,

[Chorus 3]
and then make a change
[G]I'm starting with the[C] man in the mir[D]ror
[G]I'm asking him to [C]change his way[D]s
[G]And no message
[C]could have been any [A]clearer
If you [Dm]want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,

[Chorus 4]
and then make a
[Ab](change)
I'm starting with [D]the man in the [Eb]mirror
(Oh [Ab]yeah!)
I'm asking him [D]to change his [Eb]ways
(Better [Ab]change!)
And no message
[D]could have been any [Bb]clearer
If you [Ebm]want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,
and then make a change
You gotta [Ebm]get it right, while you got the time
While you got...

[Chorus 5]
(You can't close your, your
[Ab]mind)
That man, with [D]the man in the [Eb]mirror
(Oh [Ab]yeah!)
I'm asking him [D]to change his [Eb]ways
(Better [Ab]change!)
And no [Ab]message
[D]could have been any [Bb]clearer
If you [Ebm]want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself,

[Interlude 2]
and then make a
[Ab](change)[Eb][Fm][Eb]
[Db][Db]
[Ab][Eb][Fm][Eb]
[Db]Oh no, oh no

[Outro 1]
[Db]I'm gonna make a change
It's gonna feel real good!
Chime on! (Change)
Just lift yourself, you know
You've got to stop it
Yourself! (Yeah! Make that change!)
I've got to make that change, today!
Hoo! (Man in the mirror)
You got to
You got to not let yourself
Brother
Hoo!
(Yeah! Make that change!)
I've got to get
That man, that man
You've got to
You've got to move!
Chime on!
Chime on!
You got to
Stand up! Stand up! (Make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)
(Yeah! Make that change)
Yeah, make that change (Man in the mirror)
You know it!
You know it!
You know it!
You know (Change)
Make that change
