G D/F# Em D C
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind

I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat

Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs

A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top

That's why I want you to know

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize

There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
Am7 C/B
A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C C/B
And a washed-out dream

They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see

'Cause they got no place to be
G
That's why I'm starting with me
