[F]
I was 21 years when I wrote this song, I'm [C] 22 now but [Dm] I won't be [Bb] for long.
People ask me when [F] will you grow up to be a man, but all the [C] girls I loved at school
are [Bbm] already pushing [F] prams.
I loved you then as I love you still, [C] though I put you on a [D] pedestal, they put you on a pill.
[E] I don't feel bad [F] about letting you [C] go, I just feel sad [Bb] about letting you know.
I don't want [Dm] to [Am] change the [F] world, I'm not looking [C] for a [D] new England, I'm [Bb] just looking for another [A] girl.
[C] [Bb]
I don't want [F] to change the world, I'm not looking for [Dm] a new England, [Bb] I'm just looking [F] for another girl.
I love the words you wrote to me, [C] but that was [D] bloody yesterday.
[E] [Bb] I can't [E] survive on what [G] you send, [C] every [Bb] time you need a [F] friend.
I saw two shooting stars [C] last night, I wished I knew.
[Dm] The pair of me [E] satellites are long to wish [F] on, the space [C] hardware I wish, I [Bb] wish, I wish you'd care.
I don't want [A] to change [F] the world, I'm [G] not looking [E]
for a [D] new England, I'm [Bb] just looking for another [A] girl.
[C]
[Bb] I don't want [F] to change the world, I'm not [Bb] [Em] looking for [D] a new England, [Bb] I'm just looking for another girl.
Looking for another [F] girl, [Bb] looking [C] for another [G] girl.
