Tom: C
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
