Capo 2


 D   D   Em  A   Em  A   G   A   D   D


[Verse 1]

 D                      D                  Em  A   Em  A
There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar;

 G          A                      D         D
great expectations, ev'rybody's watchin' you.

 D            D                   Em   A    Em7  A
People you meet they all seem to know you,

 G           A                               D              F#sus4 F#7
even your old friends treat you like you're somethin' new.



[Chorus]

 Bm            E
Johnny come lately,

 Bm              E
the new kid in town.

 Bm         E
Ev'rybody loves you,

 Em                 A7
so don't let them down.



[Verse 2]

 D                D                Em      A     Em  A
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play,

 G          A                    D     D
hopeless romantics, here we go again.

 D             D                             Em    A    Em7  A
But after a while you're lookin' the other way,

            G        A                D     F#sus4 F#7
it's those restless hearts that never mend.



[Chorus]

 Bm            E
Johnny come lately,

 Bm              E
the new kid in town.

 Bm              E
Will she still love you

 Em7              A7
when you're not around?



[Bridge]

 D   D   A   A   G   A   D   G D Em  D

 A7                A7                   D         D
There's so many things you should have told her,

 A7               A7                    Bm
but night after night you're willing to hold her,

      E7        Gm7           Gm7/C    C
just hold her, tears on your shoul    der.



[Verse 3]

 F                   F                       Gm7  C    Gm7 C
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you.

 A#             C             F          F
Doesn't really matter which side you're on.

 F               F                        Gm7  C    C7
You're walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you,

           A#                    C                   F     A7
they will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along.



[Chorus]

 Dm7                G
Where've you been lately?

 Dm7                   G
There's a new kid in town.

 Dm7        G
Ev'rybody loves him (don't they?)

 Gm7              A7                   D      F#m7   G
Now he's holdin' her and you're still around.



[Outro]

 A7                   D     F#m7   G
There's a new kid in town,

 A7                      D     F#m7   G   Gm7   D
just another new kid in town.

 D                             Bm              Bm    D
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout the new kid in town.

 D                             Bm              Bm
Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout the new kid in town.

           D                 D
There's a new kid in town, (I don't want to hear it)

           Bm                Bm
There's a new kid in town, (I don't want to hear it)
