        SOMEBODY SHOULD LEAVE    Reba McEntire

C#                            F#  A#m   G#
It sure gets quiet, when the kids go to bed
G#                                 F#                 G#
We sit here in the silence putting off what must be said
C#                             F#          A#m        F#
I read a book, you  watch T.V. As Our love dies quiet-ly
F#                      G#            C#
I'm so sad I don't know what I just read.


CHROUS:
                  C#  F#                 C#
Somebody should leave    but which one should it be?
A#m                             G#
You need the kids and they need me.
                  C#                  F#
Somebody should leave but we hate to give in
         G#                                        C#
We keep hopin' somehow, we might need each other again


C#                      F#       A#m      G#
You say goodnight, and turn and face the wall
G#                                    F#             G#
We lie here in the darkness, and the tears start fo fall
C#                         F#          A#m             F#
If it was only you and me goobye might come more easi-ly
     F#                G#              C#
But what about those babies down the hall?

Chorus,

ENDING:
                  C#                   F#
Somebody should leave, but we hate to give in

(Spoken) but play the chords.
         G#                                       C#
We keep hopin' somehow, we might need each other again
