its always annoyed me that the versions on here where in he wrong key .
here is the original version .
lyrics and chord placement from the james morrison version .

verse :
G Bm Em D C
i’m gonna make a change , for once in my life
G Bm Em
it’s gonna feel real good , gonna make a difference
D C
gonna make it right
G Bm Em D
as i , turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
C
this wind is blowin’ my mind
G Bm Em
i see the kids in the street , with not enough to eat
D C
who Am i , to be blind? pretending not to see their needs

bridge :
Am Bm
a summer’s disregard , a broken bottle top
C Bm
and a one man’s soul
Am Bm
they follow each other on the wind ya’ know
C D
’cause they got nowhere to go
D
that’s why i want you to know

chorus :
G Bm C D
i’m starting with the man in the mirror
G Bm C D
i’m asking him to change his ways
G Bm C C#
and no message could have been any clearer
D
if you wanna make the world a better place
G Bm Em D C
take a look at yourself , and then make a change

na na na , na na na , na na , na nah

verse 2 :
G Bm Em D
i’ve been a victim of a selfish kind of love
C
it’s time that i realize
G Bm Em D
that there are some with no home , not a nickel to loan
C
could it be really me , pretending that they’re not alone?

bridge :
Am Bm
a willow deeply scarred , somebody’s broken heart
C Bm
and a washed – out dream
Am Bm
they follow the pattern of the wind , ya’ see
C D
cause they got no where to be
G
that’s why i’m starting with me
