Every Other Weekend(Chords)

	        


Intro: C 

Reba: 
G   
Every other Friday 
     D 
It's toys and clothes and backpacks 
         Em                  D      C 
'Is everybody in okay, let's go see daddy' 
G 
Same time in the same spot 
       D 
Corner of the same old parking lot 
Em                D                C 
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad 
           Am7              G         D 
We trade a couple words and looks and kids again 
            G         C 
Every other weekend 



Kenny: 
                     G 
Every other weekend 

Very few exceptions 
Am            G               F 
I pick up the love we made in both my arms 
     C 
It's movies on the sofa 
        G 
Grilled cheese and cut the crust off 
            Am              G                 F 
But 'That's not the way mom makes it, daddy', breaks my heart 
       Dm7          C                 G 
I miss everything I used to have with her, again 
            C       ~ ~  
Every other weekend 



Chorus: 
Kenny: 
    Am                  G 
But I can't tell her I love her 

Reba: 
I can't tell him I love him 

Both: 
               F                      C            G 
'Cause there's too many questions and ears in the car 

Reba: 
    Am                     G 
So, I don't tell him I miss him 

Kenny: 
                   F 
I don't tell her I need her 

Both: 
                       C         G 
S(he)'s over me, that's where we are 

Kenny: 
         Dm7      C             F 
We're as close as we might ever be again 

Both: 
G           C 
Every other weekend 



Reba: 
G 
Every other Saturday 
D 
First thing in the morning 
           Em       D              C 
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away 
  G 
I know why, but I don't know why 
   D 
We ever let this happen 
Em              D           C 
Falling for 'forever' was a big mistake 
                Am7           G              D 
There's so much not to do and all day not to do it in 
            G         C 
Every other weekend 



Kenny: 

Every other Sunday 
  G 
I empty out my backseat 
         Am                 G             F 
While my children hug their mother in the parking lot 
         C 
We don't touch, we don't talk much 
      G 
Maybe goodbye to each other 
       Am               G              F 
As she drives away with every piece of heart I've got 
       Dm7         C           G 
I reconvince myself we did the right thing 
            C       ~ ~  
Every other weekend 



Chorus: 
Kenny: 
Am                  G 
I can't tell her I love her 

Reba: 
I can't tell him I love him 

Both: 
               F                      C            G 
'Cause there's too many questions and ears in the car 

Reba: 
    Am                     G 
So, I don't tell him I miss him 

Kenny: 
                   F 
I don't tell her I need her 

Both: 
                       C         G 
S(he)'s over me, that's where we are 

Kenny: 
         Dm7      C             F 
We're as close as we might ever be again 

Both: 
G           C 
Every other weekend 


OUTRO: 
Kenny: 
          Dm7            C          F 
Yeah, for fifteen minutes we're family again 

Reba: 
       Dm7              C              F      C 
God, I wish that he was still with me again 

Kenny: 
G                    F    C 
Every other weekend
