Intro

Verse

 I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

 I’m twenty-two now, but I won’t be for long

People ask me when will I grow up to be a man

 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

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?

I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England

  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

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?

I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England

  ¡KEY CHANGE!

Are you looking for another girl?

 My dreams were full of strange ideas

 My mind was set despite the fears

 But other things got in the way

 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

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?

I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England

 Are you looking for another?

I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England

 Are you looking for another girl? × 2
