(verse 1)

She called me up this mornin,

 Said there's something you should know,

 There's a job back home in Boston,

 And I think I'm gonna go,

My parents are in Cambridge,

 And, I've got some old friends there,

And I know you think this isn't fair,

(chorus)

 And the tears started falling,

 There was nothing I could say,

[G/f#]

Even if I fight it, someone loses either way,

 Oh, it might as well be China,

 Or the dark side of the moon,

 There's no way I can be there,

 Every Friday afternoon

(verse 2)

I have him every weekend,

He's got his own room here,

He's all that's kept me going,

These last three years,

There's little league in Boston,

 Oh, but who will coach his team,

How's he gonna grow up, without me,

(chorus)

 And the tears started falling,

 There was nothing I could say,

[G/f#]

Even if I fight it, someone loses either way,

 Oh, it might as well be China,

 Or the dark side of the moon,

 There's no way I can be there,

 Every Friday afternoon

(bridge)

What about Christmas,

 If I can't get off of work,

What about his birthday,

 If I'm not there he'll be hurt,

I know the day is coming,

 When she'll find someone new,

But, he'll never love him like I do

Key Change lead chords -

 Oh, it might as well be China,

 Or the dark side of the moon,

 There's no way I can be there,

 Every Friday afternoon
