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 understand
        G                           F                  C
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams

C
I loved you then as I love you still
         G                          Am
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
  F                      Em
I don't feel bad about letting you go
  G                   F
I just feel sad about letting you know

F                          C
I don't want to change the world
                          Am
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   E   G
Are you looking for another girl

F                          C
I don't want to change the world
                          Am
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   C
Are you looking for another girl

C
I loved the words you wrote to me
    G               Am
But that was bloody yesterday
  F                Em
I can't survive on what you send
G              F             C
Every time you need a friend

C
I saw two shooting stars last night
  G                   Am
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
     F                Em
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
  G               F
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

F                          C
I don't want to change the world
                          Am
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   E   G
Are you looking for another girl

F                          C
I don't want to change the world
                          Am
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   Bb
Are you looking for another girl

Bb                   D
Ooooooooo........

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

D
Once upon a time at home
  A              Bm
I sat beside the telephone
G                      F#m
Waiting for someone to pull me through
       A                       G
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

G                          D
I don't want to change the world
                          Bm
I'm not looking for a new England
        G                   F#  A
Are you looking for another girl

I'm not looking for a new England
        G
Are you looking for another
G                          D
I don't want to change the world
                          Bm
I'm not looking for a new England
        G                   D
Are you looking for another girl

Looking for another girl

Looking for another girl

Looking for another girl...
