Tom: G

D           Em
I'm gonna make a change
    D      C
For once im my life
           G         D
It's gonna feel real good
Em                  D
Gonna make a diference
C
Gonna make it right
      G         D
As I, turn up the collar on

Em                      D
My favorite winter coat
C
This wind is blowing my mind
            G                 D
I see the kids in the streets
Em
With not enought to eat
         D  C
Who am I    to be blind?

Pretending not to see their needs

Am                D
A summer disregard
                C
A broken bottle top
        D
And a one man soul
Am                                          D
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
                C
'Cause they got nowhere to go

That's why I want you to know

G       D             C      C
I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways
G     D           C               Db°
And no message could have been any clearer
C
If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
G       D    Em      D  C         C
(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)
 G                      D      Em                    D
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
C
It's time that I realize

G                       D      Em                    D
That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C                       C
Could it be really me

Pretending that they're not alone?

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