   A     D           G            A       D  G A
I don't mind, other guys dancing with my girl
        D        G             A     D
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
       Em            A          G           D
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
        Em          A                             D  A
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
                D
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Chorus:
A                                     G
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
A                                             G
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

I don't mind, other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
