{t:A New England}
{st:Kirsty MacColl (1984)}
{c:verse 1}
[C]I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm [G]twenty-two now, but I [Am]won't be for long
[F]People ask when will I grow [Em]up to understand
Why all the [G]girls I knew at school Are al-[F]ready pushing [C]prams
{c:verse 2}
I [C]loved you then as I love you still
Though I [G]put you on a pedestal,you [Am]put me on the pill
I [F]don't feel bad about [Em]letting you go
I [G]just feel sad about [F]letting you [F/C]know
{soc}
[F]I don't want to change the [C]world
I'm not looking for a new [Am]England
Are you [F]looking for another [E]girl? [G]
[F]I don't want to change the [C]world
I'm not looking for a new [Am]England
Are you [F]looking for another [C]girl? [G/C]
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
I [C]loved the words you wrote to me
But [G]that was bloody [Am]yesterday
I [F]can't survive on [Em]what you send
[G]Every time you [F]need a [C]friend
{c:verse 4}
[C]I saw two shooting stars last night
[G]I wished on them but [Am]they were only satellites
Its [F]wrong to wish on [Em]space hardware
I [G]wish, I wish, I [F]wish you'd [F/C]care
{soc}
[F]I don't want to change the [C]world
I'm not looking for a new [Am]England
Are you [F]looking for another [E]girl? [G]
[F]I don't want to change the [C]world
I'm not looking for a new [Am]England
Are you [F]looking for another [Bb]girl?
{eoc}
{c:verse 5}
My [D]dreams were full of strange ideas
My [A]mind was set des-[Bm]pite my fears
But [G]other things got [D]in the way
I [A]never asked that [G]boy to [D]stay
{c:verse 6}
[D]Once upon a time at home
I [A]sat beside the [Bm]telephone
[G]Waiting for someone to [D]pull me through
When at [A]last it didnt ring I [G]knew it wasn't [G]you
{soc}
[G]I don't want to change the [D]world
I'm not looking for a new [Bm]England
Are you [G]looking for another [F#m]girl? [A]
[G]I don't want to change the [D]world
I'm not looking for a new [Bm]England
Are you [G]looking for another [D]girl?
[G]Looking for another [D]girl
[G]Looking for another [D]girl
[G]Looking for another [D]girl
