[Verse 1]
Em*      D        Bm C
You keep dancing around
         G    A  Bm  Em
What you want so bad
Em*          D                 Bm  C
Please concentrate and hear me out

        Em
You can keep your fingers-- 
(/crossed)


[Chorus]
C (let ring)

tethers

So get off the floor if you're under
 the weather, come on
C
Latchkey kids have all come together
   A*                            
So unlock the door it'll make you 
                   Em*
feel better, come on

[Verse 2]
Em*     D         Bm C
We keep sneaking around
       G  A  Bm      Em
But we do it lightly
Em*     D             Bm  C
No more middle school tongues
       G    A    Bm
If you show up unarmed
   Em
Be still our beating-- (/hearts)


[Chorus 2]
C
We're outside and free from all 
tethers
   A*
So get off the floor if you're under
 the weather
Em*                            D
What's in store is not so unusual
    C
The latchkey kids have all come 
together
   A*
So unlock the door it'll make you 
feel better
        D
If it's not flesh and blood that 
leads you on honey
     D
Then unlock the door, unlock the 
door and move-- (/on)
