A New England (acoustic version) Billy Bragg [Verse]
G           
I was twenty one years when I wrote this song

   D                     Em
Im twenty two now, but I wont be for long

C                           G
People ask me when will you grow up to be a man

            D
But all the girls I loved at school

      C                G
Are already pushing prams

G
I loved you then as I love you still

         D
Though I put you on a pedestal

     Em
They put you on the pill

   C                  G
I dont feel bad about letting you go

   D                  C
I just feel sad about letting you know
[Chorus]
C                         G
I dont want to change the world

                         Em
Im not looking for a new England

        C                   D
Im just looking for another girl  

C                          G
I don't want to change the world

                         Em
Im not looking for a new England

        C                   G
Im just looking for another girl
[Verse]
G
I loved the words you wrote to me

    D               Em
But that was bloody yesterday

   C              G
I cant survive on what you send

   D           C           G
Every time you need a friend

G
I saw two shooting stars last night

D                    Em
I wished on them but they were only satellites

C                    G
Its wrong to wish on space hardware

  D               C
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
[Chorus]
C                          G
I dont want to change the world

                         Em
Im not looking for a new England

        C                   D
Im just looking for another girl  

C                         G
I dont want to change the world

                         Em
Im not looking for a new England

        C                   G
Im just looking for another girl
[Outro]
C                   G
Looking for another girl

C                   G
Looking for another girl

C                   G            
Looking for another girl
