Standard (EADGBE)

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 understand

 Why 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 a 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

 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

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

I don't want to change the world

 I'm not looking for a new England

 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
