A New England by Kirsty MacColl
A New England
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
G Am
I’m twenty-two now, but I won’t be for long
F Em
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
G F C
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I don’t feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
[Chorus]
F C Am
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
F E G
Are you looking for another girl?
F C Am
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
F C
Are you looking for another girl?
[Verse]
I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can’t survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It’s wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you’d care
[Chorus]
F C Am
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
F E G
Are you looking for another girl?
F C Am
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
F Bb D
Are you looking for another girl?
[Verse]
D
My dreams were full of strange ideas
A Bm
My mind was set despite the fears
G F#m
But other things got in the way
A G D
I never asked that boy to stay
[Bridge]
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn’t ring, I knew it wasn’t you
[Chorus] (x2)
G D Bm
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
G F# A
Are you looking for another girl?
G D Bm
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
G
Are you looking for another?
G D Bm
I don’t want to change the world; I’m not looking for a New England
G D
Are you looking for another girl?
[Ending]

I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school
Are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
They put you on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad 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
Every time you need a friend
I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
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
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
