F
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
C Dm
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
Bb F
People ask me when will you grow up to be a man
C Bb F
But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams
F
I loved you then as I love you still
C Dm
Though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill
Bb F
I don't feel bad about letting you go
C Bb
I just feel bad about letting you know
(Before each chorus he plays a quick opens strum of Bb so it's like a 16th note of just
strums then back to palm muting...)
Bb Am F
I don't want to change the world
F C Dm
I'm not looking for A New England
Bb Am C
I'm just looking for another girl
Bb Am F
I don't want to change the world
F C Dm
I'm not looking for A New England
Bb C F
I'm just looking for another girl
F
I loved the words you wrote to me
C Dm
But that was bloody yesterday
Bb F
I can't survive on what you send
C Bb F
Every time you need a friend
F
I saw two shooting stars last night
C Dm
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Bb F
Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?
C Bb
I wish I wish I wish you'd care
Bb Am F
I don't want to change the world...
