SHE DOESN’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT – ELSIE MORDEN
Album: No Time for That
Key: E (Capo 1)
INTRO
E, Esus, E
VERSE 1
E
She’s been to seven schools in 17 months
E
Every time she gets settled down, her parents have to move on
A
Looks that take every guy’s breath away
A
But girls only have daggers on display
E
History repeats itself, time after time
PRECHORUS
F#m B
How can people be so unkind?
CHORUS
A
She bends, like a tree in the wind
E
But she'll never break
A
She's found, they can't drag her down
E
Gets tired of turning the other cheek
E
But that's what it takes
F#m G# A
Won't let herself get pulled in to that trap
E
She doesn't have time for that
INTERLUDE
E, Esus, E
VERSE 2
E
She concentrates on things that matter,
E
Climbing slippery rungs on the corporate ladder
A
Both daughters have to make it to their dance recitals
A
She’ll have to miss that meeting her boss said is vital
E
Candle burns at both ends, but she keeps moving on
PRECHORUS 2
F#m B
And somehow the work always gets done
CHORUS
A
She bends, like a tree in the wind
E
But she'll never break
A
She's found, they can't drag her down
E
Gets tired of turning the other cheek
E
But that's what it takes
F#m G# A
Won't let herself get pulled in to that trap
C#m
She doesn't have time for that
BRIDGE
C#m B A
Adversity, builds the strength that lives inside,
C#m B A
If she believes she’s on the road she knows is right
CHORUS
A
She bends, like a tree in the wind
E
But she'll never break
A
She's found, they can't drag her down
E
Gets tired of turning the other cheek
E
But that's what it takes
F#m G# A
Won't let herself get pulled in to that trap
E
She doesn't have time for that
E Esus
No time for that, she doesn't have time for that
