man in the mirror

words and music by:


 3   5  4  -4  4   5   -4
I'm Gonna make a change
 5  -4   4  -4 -3"
For once in my life
 3    4 -4  5   5 -4 -4 4
It's gonna feel real good
 4 -3" 4  -3" 4    -4
Gonna make a difference
 5 -5  5   6   -6   6 -5 5 -6 5 -4
Gonna make it right

4 -4   5    5  -4  -4  4
As I turned up the collar
5 -4 5  5  -4   -4  4   5  -4 
On  my favorite winter coat
 5    5   5  -4  4   -4 -3”
This wind is blowin' my mind
3  4  -4  5 -4 -4  5    -4  4
I see the kids in the street
 4    4  4  5   6  -6
With not enough to eat
 5  -5 6 5  -5   6
Who am I to be blind
 6  6  -5  -5  5  -4   5 -4 5 -4
Pretending not to see their needs

5 -5   5   -5  5  6
A summer's disregard
5  -5 5  -5  5   6
A broken bottle top
 5  6  -6  5     5  -4 4 
And a one man's soul
 5   -5  5  -5  -5  5
They follow each other
-5  5   -5   5   6
On the wind ya' know
  5     6   -6 6 6 -6 6 6  6
'Cause they got nowhere to go
 6      6  6  6   -6  7   7
That's why I want you to know

 8    6  -6   7   -8   8  -8  7   7 -8
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
 8   6 -6   7  -8  8 -8  -8  -8 7
I'm asking him to change his ways
 6   8 -8 -8  7    7    -6   7   7 -6  7  8
And  no  message could have been any clearer
6o  6  6o 6o  6o   6   6o   6  6o 6   60
If you wanna make the world a better place
 6o  6  6o  6   6   6o   6   6o   6o  6   7   -8 7
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
5  -5  6  5  -5  6  5  -5  5 -4 -4 4
Na na na, na na na, na na na na oh ho

 5    5  -4 -4  4  5 -4 
I've been a victim of
5  5  4    -4 4  5 -4
A selfish kinda love
 5    5    4  -4 4 -4 -3”
It's time that I realize
  3    4   -4   5   -4   -4  5 -4 4
That there are some with no home
 4  4  4  5  6   -6 
Not a nickel to loan
  5   -5  6  5  -5 6
Could it be really me,                                          
 6  6  -5   -5    5     -4  5 -4  5  -4
pretending that they're not a  - lone

5 -5  5   -5  5    6
A willow deeply scarred
 5  -5 5   -5  5    6
Somebody's broken heart
 5  6  -6    5     5 -4 4
And a washed out dream
 5   -5  5  -5  -5  5   -5  5  -5   5   6
They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
   5    6  -6 6  6 -6 6  6  6
'Cause they got no place to be
  6     6   6   6  -6    7    7
That's why I'm starting with me
