For once in my life

[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

[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
