I see the kEids in the stG#mreet, with not eC#mnough to eat
BWho am I, Ato be blind? Pretending not to see their needs
[Bridge]
F#mA summer's disregard, G#ma broken bottle top
AAnd a one man's sG#moul
F#mThey follow each other on the G#mwind ya' know
'Cause they gAot nowhere to Bgo
BThat's why I want you to know
[Chorus]
EI'm sG#mtarting with the mAan in the mBirror
EI'm aG#msking him to chAange his wBays
EAnd no meG#mssage could have bAeen any cleaBbrer
If you waBnna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a cEhangG#meC#m  B  A  
Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah
[Verse 2]
EI've been a vG#mictim of C#ma selfish kBind of love
AIt's time that I realize
That there are sEome with no G#mhome, not a nC#mickel to loBan
Could it be reAally me, pretending that they're not alone?
[Bridge]
F#mA willow deeply scarred, G#msomebody's broken heart
AAnd a washed-out drG#meam
They fF#mollow the pattern of the wG#mind, ya' see
Cause they Agot no where to bBe
That's why I'm starting with Eme

E G#m C#m B

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat

E G#m C#m

I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat

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

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

It's time that I realize

E G#m C#m B

That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan

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

That's why I'm starting with me

[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

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

That man, that man, that man, that man, oh yeah

[Outro]
