[Verse 1]
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
