Chords in this song5
Intro
Em N.C.
Verse 1
I didn't ask to be famous
But I'm not sore
Cause you can see my face in the window of every store
You can buy my lunch box
You can wear my clothes
You can see my name, just as plain as the face under your nose
Chorus
I'm a new kid on the block
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
So we may not write the songs we sing
But look at Elvis, he sold his soul and you crowned him king
Solo
Em N.C.
Verse 2
I didn't ask to be famous
But I'm not sad
ya see I've got everything that I always wished I had
in fact my mind, I'm tired
I thank the screaming girls
ooh, ooh I thank my hairdresser for giving me such beautiful curls
Pre-Chorus
now I'm a new kid on the block
well I'm 23 and they won't let me grow up mmm
I went down to register for the draft
well I got up to the counter and the lady there just laughed
Chorus
she said to her new kid on the block
young girls scream and old boys mock
well you broke my youngest daughter's heart
well I knew you kids were trouble from the start
Solo
G G G G x2
Verse 3
I didn't ask to be famous, but I'm not sure
that were as apple pie as you always thought we were
I can stay up all night, I can have a blast
I can breakdance, I can fight, I can kick your sorry ass
Chorus
I'm a new kid on the block
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
there's no need to be afraid of us
though it just might be your daughter on our bus
I'm a new kid on the block
Though I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
there's no need to be afraid of us
though it just might be your daughter on our bus (hey!)
