Latchkey Kid

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

[Verse 2]
C                  F        C            F
There's his sidekick, the Matchstick Girl
C          F    C   F
Her behavior erratic
    C                F      C              F
Confusing her victims with mood shift twirls
      C               F         C                    F     G
When backed in a corner she'll hit them with something sarcastic.
           G          G
With an attitude and eyes that roll
        G                      C  F C F C F 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
F          C               G
One we’ll use while we're here
G                      G                 G                         C F C F C F C F
Having the time, the time of our lives, relying on the Latchkey Kids

[Verse 3]
C           F     C           F
Make way for the Latchkey Kids
C               F         C    F
They're our hope for the future
         C               F      C               F
They're going to erase all the bad things we did
           C            F         C                   F     G
With their Xbox skills and their heads full of short-term memory
      G                   G
With eyes that roll, and teenage shoulders
G                        C F C F C F C
Shrugging off the universe

[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                   G
Having the time, the time of our lives, relying on the Latchkey Kids

[Bridge]
G#                     A#
See the storm clouds forming there
G#                A#               G# A# C F C
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          G
And that someone will bring us redemption
Dm                 F          C
Very soon we will raise our glasses
      F                C        G
And kiss each other's asses goodbye
     G                      G              G                        C F C F C F C F
But until that time, let's live sublime, relying on the Latchkey Kids
