Reba McEntire - Every Other Weekend (Duet with Kenny Chesney)
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C majorC
[Reba:]
G+G
Every other Friday
D MajorD
It's toys and clothes and backpacks
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
"Is everybody in okay, let's go see daddy"
G+G
Same time in the same spot
D MajorD
Corner of the same old parking lot
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad
Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD
We trade a couple words and looks and kids again
G+G C majorC
Every other weekend
[Kenny:]
G+G
Every other weekend
Very few exceptions
A minorAm G+G FF
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
C majorC
It's movies on the sofa
G+G
Grilled cheese and cut the crust off
A minorAm G+G FF
But "That's not the way mom makes it, daddy", breaks my heart
Dm7Dm7 C majorC G+G
I miss everything I used to have with her, again
C majorC ~ ~
Every other weekend
CHORUS:
[Kenny:]
A minorAm G+G
But I can't tell her I love her
[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him
[Both:]
FF C majorC G+G
'Cause there's too many questions and ears in the car
[Reba:]
A minorAm G+G
So, I don't tell him I miss him
[Kenny:]
FF
I don't tell her I need her
[Both:]
C majorC G+G
S(he)'s over me, that's where we are
[Kenny:]
Dm7Dm7 C majorC FF
We're as close as we might ever be again
[Both:]
G+G C majorC
Every other weekend
[Reba:]
G+G
Every other Saturday
D MajorD
First thing in the morning
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
G+G
I know why, but I don't know why
D MajorD
We ever let this happen
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Falling for 'forever' was a big mistake
Am7Am7 G+G D MajorD
There's so much not to do and all day not to do it in
G+G C majorC
Every other weekend
[Kenny:]
Every other Sunday
G+G
I empty out my backseat
A minorAm G+G FF
While my children hug their mother in the parking lot
C majorC
We don't touch, we don't talk much
G+G
Maybe goodbye to each other
A minorAm G+G FF
As she drives away with every piece of heart I've got
Dm7Dm7 C majorC G+G
I reconvince myself we did the right thing
C majorC ~ ~
Every other weekend
CHORUS:
[Kenny:]
A minorAm G+G
I can't tell her I love her
[Reba:]
I can't tell him I love him
[Both:]
FF C majorC G+G
'Cause there's too many questions and ears in the car
[Reba:]
A minorAm G+G
So, I don't tell him I miss him
[Kenny:]
FF
I don't tell her I need her
[Both:]
C majorC G+G
S(he)'s over me, that's where we are
[Kenny:]
Dm7Dm7 C majorC FF
We're as close as we might ever be again
[Both:]
G+G C majorC
Every other weekend
OUTRO:
[Kenny:]
Dm7Dm7 C majorC FF
Yeah, for fifteen minutes we're family again
[Reba:]
Dm7Dm7 C majorC FF C majorC
God, I wish that he was still with me again
[Kenny:]
G+G FF C majorC
