A New England Chords & Tabs
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 be a man
G F C
When all 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
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

I never asked that boy to stay
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
