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

You look in her eyes; the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after a while, you're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

Chorus:
Johnny-come-lately
The new kid in town
Will she still love you
When you're not around?

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

G                                           Am7   D  Am7 D
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you.
C               D            G
Doesn't really matter which side you're on.
G               G                          Am7  D Am7 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.

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
(Ooh-hooh) Ev'rybody's talkin'
          C#m
'bout the new kid in town.
 E
(Ooh-hooh) Ev'rybody's walkin'
         C#m
like the new kid in town.

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