Strum
D-DU-UDU
I was  twenty-one years when I wrote this song
  -->C(8fr) -->Dm(10fr)
 I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
People  ask me when will you grow up  to be a man
  -->C(8) Bb(6) F F/E...
 But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams
 I loved you then as I love you still
 Though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill
 I don't feel bad about letting you go
 I just feel bad about letting you know
 I don't want to change  the world
 I'm not looking for  A New England
  I'm just looking  for another girl
  I don't want to change the world
  I'm not looking for A New England
  I'm just 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
 Everytime you need a friend
 I saw two shooting stars last night
 I wished on them but they were only sattelites
 Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?
 I wish I wish I wish you'd care
 I don't want to change the world...
 ends up with F(8fr)/C(8)/Bb(6)/C(8). last chord is an Fmaj7.
