Latchkey Kid

C         F     C          F
Here comes the Latchkey Kid
C                  F       C    
 He's got our world on his 
     F
shoulders
C             F   C
 He has a secret identity
F      C          F       C    
 On a fake ID that will claim 
        F      G
he is 10 years older
      G                 G
With tousled hair, and eyes that 
roll
      G                       C  F
He's cynical, whatever that means

[Verse 2]
C                  F        C   
There's his sidekick, the 
         F
Matchstick Girl
C          F    C   F
Her behavior erratic
    C                F      C
Confusing her victims with mood 
              F
shift twirls
      C               F         C
When backed in a corner she'll 
                    F     G
hit them with something sarcastic.
           G          G
With an attitude and eyes that roll
        G                      C  
While hidden safe behind her bangs

[Chorus 1]
Dm                 F        C
What a wonderful peace of mind
F        C            G
Living blind to the broken
Dm             F     C
As lazy as an old excuse

One we’ll use while we're here
G                      G         
Having the time, the time of our

They're our hope for the future
         C               F      C
They're going to erase all the 
               F
bad things we did
           C            F      
With their Xbox skills and their 
   C                   F     G
heads full of short-term memory
      G                   G
With eyes that roll, and teenage 
shoulders
G                        C F C F
Shrugging off the universe
 C F C


[Chorus 2]
Dm                 F       C
What a wonderful peace of mind
F        C           G
Living blind to the broken
Dm              F         C
As tired as a played out song
    F         C                 G
We all sing along, while we're here
G                     G          
Having the time, the time of our 
         G
lives, relying on the Latchkey Kids

G#                     A#
See the storm clouds forming there

You can feel the tension in the

air

[Chorus 3]
Dm                F        C
What a wonderful peace of mind
F        C           G
Living blind to the broken
Dm                F     C
We all have our secret fears
      F     C          G
They disappear when unspoken
Dm             F        C
Someone should do something
         F             C     
And that someone will bring us 
     G
redemption
Dm                 F          C
Very soon we will raise our glasses
      F                C        G
And kiss each other's asses goodbye
     G                      G 
But until that time, let's live 
             G                  
sublime, relying on the Latchkey
