D                   F#                      G
Drive your mustang down, to where you hang out
                  D
Alone without a friend.
D                   F#
Girls walk by you, some in fact have tried you
    G                                  D
But once they tried they never tried again.

Chorus:
G                 D
Except the new girl.
G                  D
Except the new girl.

Alone and lonesome trusting no one
They say you never had a friend
People talk about you they say they doubt you really
Ever let anybody in

Chorus

I guess there's never been anyone else

Chorus

Last time I saw him he was laughing
She was standing by his side
I've got a feeling that they're still together
From the look that was in his eyes

There's no one

Chorus

G                        D
See him smile, he don't care.
 A                           D
Says he loves her, and he'll always love her.
G                        D
See him smile, it seems fair.
         A
That he finally found her,
 D
finally hold her. There's no one,

Chorus:
There's no one
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
Except the new girl
