INTRO: C VERSE

I was ^Ctwenty-one years when I wrote this song I’^Gm twenty-two now, but ^AmI won’t be for long ^FPeople ask me when will I grow ^Emup to be a man When all the ^Ggirls I knew at school are al^Fready pushing prams^C

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

^FI don’t want to change th^Ce world; I’m not looking for a ^AmNew England F E --> G Are you looking for another girl? ^FI don’t want to change th^Ce world; I’m not looking for a ^AmNew England Are you l^Fooking for another gir^Cl?

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

My ^Ddreams were full of strange ideas My ^Amind was set des^Bmpite the fears But ^Gother things got ^F#min the way I ^Anever asked that ^Gboy to stay ^D

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

^GI don’t want to change the ^Dworld; I’m not looking for a New E^Bmngland G F# --> A Are you looking for another girl? ^GI don’t want to change the ^Dworld; I’m not looking for a New E^Bmngland Are you look^Ging for another? ^GI don’t want to change the w^Dorld; I’m not looking for a New E^Bmngland Are you look^Ging for another girl? × 2 ^D
