 [Verse 1]

 E                      E                  F#m B   F#m B
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar;
A          B                      E         E
great expectations, ev'rybody's watchin' you.
E            E                   F#m  B    F#m7 B
People you meet they all seem to know you,
A           B                               E              G#sus4 G#7
even your old friends treat you like you're somethin' new.

 [Chorus]

 C#m           F#
Johnny come lately,
C#m             F#
the new kid in town.
C#m        F#
Ev'rybody loves you,
F#m                B7
so don't let them down.

 [Verse 2]
E                E                F#m     B     F#m B
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play,
A          B                    E     E
hopeless romantics, here we go again.
E             E                             F#m   B    F#m7 B
But after a while you're lookin' the other way,
       A        B                E     G#sus4 G#7
it's those restless hearts that never mend.

 [Chorus]
C#m           F#
Johnny come lately,
C#m             F#
the new kid in town.
C#m             F#
Will she still love you
F#m7             B7
when you're not around?

 [Bridge]

E   E   B   B   A   B   E   A E F#m E

 B7                B7                   E         E
There's so many things you should have told her,
B7               B7                    C#m
but night after night you're willing to hold her,
     F#7       Am7           Am7/D   D
just hold her, tears on your shoul - der.

 [Verse 3]
G                   G                       Am7  D    Am7 D
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you.
C              D             G          G
Doesn't really matter which side you're on.
G               G                        Am7  D    D7
You're walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you,
          C                     D                   G     B7
they will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along.

 [Chorus]
Em7                A
Where've you been lately?
Em7                   A
There's a new kid in town.
Em7        A
Ev'rybody loves him (don't they?)
Am7                  B7                    E   G#m7   A
    And he's holdin' her and you're still around.

 [Outro]
B7                   E   G#m7   A
There's a new kid in town,
B7                      E   G#m7   A   Am7
just another new kid in town.
 E         E                             C#m             C#m
(Ooh-hooh) Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout the new kid in town.
E         E                            C#m             C#m
(Ooh-hooh) Ev'rybody's walkin' like the new kid in town.

 [Outro]
          E                 E
There's a new kid in town, (I don't want to hear it)
          C#m               C#m
There's a new kid in town, (I don't want to hear it)
