[Verse 1]
G                     G                      Am  D  Am  D
  There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar,
C            D                    G            G
  great expectations, everybody's watching you.
G            G                     Am   D  Am  D
  People you meet they all seem to know you,
C           D                                 G            B7
  even your old friends treat you like you're something new.

[Chorus]
Em            A       Em               A
  Johnny come lately,   the new kid in town,
Em          A          C                    D
  everybody loves you,   so, don't let them down.

[Verse 2]
G*                N.C.              Am      D    C  D
  You look in her eyes, the music begins to play,
C            D                    G            G
  hopeless romantics, here we go again.
G            G                        Am    D  Am  D
 But after a while you're looking the other way,
           C          D                 G            B7
it's those   restless hearts that never mend.

[Chorus]
Em            A       Em               A
  Johnny come lately,   the new kid in town,
Em               A        C                   D
  will she still love you   when you 're not around?

[Bridge] (To Key Change)
D                 D                      G       G
  There's so many things you should have told her
D                 D                       Em
  but night after night you're willing to hold her,
     A        Eb            F
just hold her tears on your shoulder.

Eb                       F                 Bb          Bb
  that it doesn't really matter which side   you're on.
Bb               Bb                        Cm   F   Cm   F
 You're walking away and they're talking behind you,
          Eb                     F                   Bb        D
they will never forget you 'till somebody new comes along.

[Chorus]
Gm                  C       Gm                     C
  Where you've been lately?   There's a new kid in town.
Gm          C                      Eb                 D
  Everybody loves him, don't they?   Now he's holding her
                  G      Bm    C       D
and you're still around,    oh my.

oh, oh, everybody's walking like the new kid in town.
          G                G
There's a new kid in town, I don't want to hear it,
          Em               Em
there's a new kid in town, I don't want to hear it.
