[Dm]
[G] As I turned [D] up the collar [G] worn, my favorite winter [C] coat, the spring was blowing my mind.
[G] I see the kids in the street, but not enough to eat.
Who am [C] I to be blind, pretending not to see their need?
[Am] Astonished [G] disregard, a broken bottle top, and a one-man show.
[Am] They follow each other on [G] the window, [C] cause they got nowhere [Em] to go.
Got the [D] one, the one, you [G] just know.
I'm starting [C] with a [G]
mouth, asking [C] him to change [D] his way.
[G] I know myself, [C] it's gonna bend [A] and crumble.
[D] If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make a [G] change.
[D] [Em] [D] [G]
[C] [D] [Em] [D]
[G] I've [D] been a victim [Em] of a [D] selfish kind of [C] love.
It's time that I realize,
[G] I'm jealous of him [D] more.
[Em] Not a nickel to [D] love, could it [C] be, really be, pretending [C] to be right all along?
[Am] Oh, well, oh, deepest [Bm] God, [G] somebody's broken [C] heart, and a [G] washed out dream.
[Am] They follow the pattern [Bm] of the wind machine, [G]
[C] cause they got no place [E] to be.
That's why I'm starting [G] with me.
I'm starting [C] with a mouth, [G]
asking [C] him to change [G] his way.
I know myself, [C] it's gonna [A] bend and crumble.
