This is the original version. A nice thing is on the chorus to put your little finger on
(the G) to give a nice accent.

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I??m twenty-two now, but I won??t be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to be a man
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
C/ (x32010@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_x02210@1">Am / F (133211@1)name="chord_022000@1">Em / G (320003@1)name="chord_133211@1">F C (x32010@1)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 (133211@1)                        C (x32010@1) 			           AmI (x02210@1)don??t want to change the world; I??m not looking for a New England
 	    F (133211@1)                        E?? (022100@1)GAre (320003@1)you looking for another girl?
F (133211@1)        			     C (x32010@1)				 AmI (x02210@1)don??t want to change the world; I??m not looking for a New England
  	      F (133211@1)                   C?? (x32010@1)Are you 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
It??s wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you??d care
