A New England

C 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 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 F C Am 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? F C Am I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England F C 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 F C Am 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? F C Am I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England F Bb D Are you looking for another girl? 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 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 (2x) G D Bm 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? G D Bm I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England G Are you looking for another? G D Bm I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England G D Are you looking for another girl? D
