A
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
E F#m
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
D A
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
E D A
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
A
I loved you then as I love you still
E F#m
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
D A
I don't feel bad about letting you go
E D
I just feel sad about letting you know
D A
I don't want to change the world
F#m
I'm not looking for a new England
D C#m E
Are you looking for another girl
D A
I don't want to change the world
F#m
I'm not looking for a new England
D E A
Are you looking for another girl
A
I loved the words you wrote to me
E F#m
But that was bloody yesterday
D A
I can't survive on what you send
E F#m A
Every time you need a friend
A
I saw two shooting stars last night
E F#m
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
D A
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
E D
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
D A
I don't want to change the world

I'm not looking for a new England

My dreams were full of strange ideas
E F#m
My mind was set despite the fears
D A
But other things got in the way
E D A
I never asked that boy to stay
A
Once upon a time at home
E F#m
I sat beside the telephone
D A
Waiting for someone to pull me through
E D
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you
D A
I don't want to change the world
F#m
I'm not looking for a new England
D C#m E
Are you looking for another girl
D A
I don't want to change the world
F#m
I'm not looking for a new England

Are you looking for another
D E A
Looking for another
D E A
Looking for another girl
D E A D E A D E A
Looking for another girl
