Key: GG | Capo: 2fr |  Left-Handed 

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
