Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

I feel like (Bm7)new sun glass es, like a brand new (D)pair of jeans.

I feel like (Bm7)tak ing chanc es.

I feel a (D)lot like sev en teen.

(A)(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)

I feel like a win dows rolled down, new cit y (D)streets and cabs.

I feel like (Bm7)an y thing can hap pen.

Laugh ing, (D)you take me right back

I when we

were (Bm7)kids.

Nev er thought

I’d feel

like this.

Like when I (A)close my eyes

and don’t e ven care if an y one (Dsus2)sees me danc ing.

Like (A)I can fly, and I don’t e ven think I’m touch ing the (Dsus2)ground.

Like a heart beat skip, like an (Bm7)o pen page, like a one way trip on an (Dsus2)aer o plane.

It’s the (A)way that I (Bm7)feel when I’m with you:

brand new.

(A)Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Brand new.

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)

I feel like a young John Cu sack, like mak ing (D)big mis takes.

I feel like, (Bm7)for the first time in a long time, (D)I am not a fraid.

I feel like

a (Bm7)kid.

Nev er thought

it’d feel

like this.

Like when I (A)close my eyes

and don’t e ven care if an y one (Dsus2)sees me danc ing.

Like (A)I can fly, and I don’t e ven think I’m touch ing the (Dsus2)ground.

Like a heart beat skip, like an (Bm7)o pen page, like a one way trip on an (Dsus2)aer o plane.

It’s the (A)way that I (Bm7)feel when I’m with you:

(A)Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.)

Time will al ways try and make us old.

You re mind me what I used to know.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh,

Like when I brand new.

(A)Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, (A)Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh,

(Dsus2)I feel brand new.
