[F]
I was 21 years when I wrote this song, [C] I'm 22 [D] now but I won't [Bb] be for long.
People ask me when will [G] you grow up to be a man, but all [C] the girls I loved at school
[Bbm] are already pushing [F] craps.
I loved you then as I love you [C] still, though I put you on a [D] fetish pill, they put you on the [Bb] pill.
I don't feel [F] bad about letting you [C] go, I just feel [Bb] sad about letting you know.
I [F] don't want to change the world, I'm not looking [D] for a new England, I'm [Bb] just looking
[A] for another girl.

[Bb] I don't [F] want to change the world, I'm not looking for a new [D] England, [Bbm] I'm just [F] looking

I love the words you wrote to [C] me, but that was [D] bloody yesterday.
[Bb] I can't [E] survive on [G] what you [C] send, every time [Bb] you [F] need a friend.
I saw two shooting stars [C] last night, I wished on them.
[Dm] They're only satellites, [E] wrong to wish [F] on space [C] hardware.
I wish, I [Bb] wish, I wish you'd care.
I don't [A] want to [F] change the world, I'm not [E] looking [D] for a new England, [Bb] I'm just looking
for [A] another girl.
