INTRO: C
VERSE
C
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
G Am
I�m twenty-two now, but I won�t be for long
F Em
People ask me when will I grow up to be a man
G F C
When all the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I don�t feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
F C Am
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
F E --> G
Are you looking for another girl?
F C Am
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
F C
Are you looking for another girl?
VERSE
I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can�t survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It�s wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you�d care
CHORUS
F C Am
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
F E --> G
Are you looking for another girl?
F C Am
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
F Bb D �KEY CHANGE!
Are you looking for another girl?
D
My dreams were full of strange ideas
A Bm
My mind was set despite the fears
G F#m
But other things got in the way
A G D
I never asked that boy to stay
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn�t ring, I knew it wasn�t you
G D Bm
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
G F# --> A
Are you looking for another girl?
G D Bm
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
G
Are you looking for another?
G D Bm
I don�t want to change the world; I�m not looking for a New England
G D
Are you looking for another girl? � 2
END ON D
