Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

There’s talk on the street, it sounds so fa-miliar.

Great expecta-ations, everybody’s watching yo-ou.

People you meet they all seem to know you,

Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new.

Johnny-come-la-ately,

The new kid in town,

Everybody lo-oves you,

So don’t let them do-o-own.

(Sing slows down)

You look in her eyes,

 The music be-gins to play.

Hopeless ro-ma-antics, here we go a-ga-ain.

But after a while you’re looking the other way.

 It’s those re-estle-ess hea-arts that ne-ever me-end.

Johnny-come-la-ately,

The new kid in town,

Instrmental:

There’s so many things you should have to-old her

But night after night you’re willing to ho-old her,

 Just ho-old her

 (Key Change to )

Tears on your shou-ul-der.

There’s talk on the street, it’s there to remi-i-ind you

That it doesn’t really ma-at-ter which side you’re on.

You’re walking a-wa-ay and they’re talking behi-i-ind you.

 They will never forget you till somebody new comes alo-ong.

Everybody lo-oves him, don’t they?

Now he’s holding her

Key change back to E

 And you’re still aro-o-o-o-ound, oh my my.

There’s a new ki-id in to-o- o-own,

Just an-other new ki-id in to-o-o- o-own.

Oo- hoo,

 everybody’s talking ’bout the new kid in town.

Oo- hoo,

Oo- hoo,

 Everybody’s walking like the new kid in town.

Oo- hoo,

 There’s a new kid in town I don’t want to hear it
