[Intro]

[Verse]
C G C                                             
■ ■ ■ I was twentyone years when I wrote this song
G                       Am               
I'm twentytwo now but I won't be for long
F                                    C         
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
        G                          F               C     C7
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams ■ 
C C7   C     C7                          
■ ■  I loved you then as I love you still
         G                         Am                
Though I put you on a pedestal you put me on the pill
  F                    C             
I don't feel bad about letting you go
  G                   F               
I just feel sad about letting you know
                           C    
I don't want to change the world
                          Am     
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   E7   G
Are you looking for another girl ■


[Chorus]
F                            C    
■ I don't want to change the world
                          Am     
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   C   
Are you looking for another girl


[Verse]
  C                              
I loved the words you wrote to me
G7                  Am       
But that was bloody yesterday
  F                C            
I can't survive on what you send
G              F      C     
Every time you need a friend


[Chorus]
  C                                
I saw two shooting stars last night
G                         Am                  
I wished on them but they were only satellites
F                     Em            
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
  G           F                
I wish I wish I wish you'd care
                           C    
I don't want to change the world
                G         Am     
I'm not looking for a new England
                            E7   G F
Are you looking for another girl ■ ■
                           C    
I don't want to change the world
                          Am     
I'm not looking for a new England
        F                   Bb  
Are you looking for another girl


[Bridge]
                       D            
My dreams were full of strange ideas
A               Bm               
My mind was set despite the fears
G                    Gbm7      
But other things got in the way
A                  G           D
I never asked that boy to stay ■


[Chorus]
            D           
Once upon a time at home
  Asus4 A          Bm7      
I sat   beside the telephone
G                      D              
Waiting for someone to pull me through
        A                     G                 
When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you
                           D    
I don't want to change the world
                          Bm     
I'm not looking for a new England
        G                   Gb7  A
Are you looking for another girl ■
G                            D    
■ I don't want to change the world
                          Bm7    
I'm not looking for a new England
        G                  
Are you looking for another
                           D    
I don't want to change the world
                          Bm7    
I'm not looking for a new England
        G                   D   
Are you looking for another girl
G           D           
Looking for another girl
G           D           
Looking for another girl
G                   D   
Looking for another girl
D             
Girl girl girl
