[Intro]
G A/G Gsus2 G6/9
[Verse]
D
He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
A
Like she'd been some casual friend
G
He said "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need."
A7sus4 A7
Like her momma had said about him
D
He started the car, pulled out of the drive
A
Didn't waste any time lookin' back
G
She watched___ him go thinkin' even a stranger
Bm A
Would show more compassion than that
[Chorus]
D A
She could've cried but she didn't have time
G A/G G
She had a baby to feed a pink blanket to find
D
To rock their little one to sleep___
A G
She could've laid in bed for hours_ giving misery the power
Asus4 G A/G Gsus2 G6/9
But she didn't have time
[Verse]
D
She got a sitter and she got a job
A
'Cause she had a promise to keep
G
Her day was a factory and evenin' survival
A7sus4 A7
And night was exhaustion and sleep
D
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by
A
And watchin' was all she could do
G
Her friends said you gotta get outta the house
Bm A
And maybe you'll meet someone new
[Chorus]
D A
She could've tried but she didn't have time
G
She had a five-year-old to feed
A/G G D
She had ballet class, piano lessons and T-ball Little League
A G
She could've laid awake for hours__ givin' lonely nights the power
A Bm
But she didn't have time
[Bridge]
G Bm
Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
G D
Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
A Gadd9
Not time, but yes, have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
Asus4
She was thinking, 'Gosh, he's handsome' when he asked
Do you have kids?
[Chorus]
D A
She could've lied but she didn't have time
G
All she said was "She's five."
A/G G
He said, "I saw the car seat, I love kids -
D
Does she have your eyes?"
A
And they sat and talked for hours
G
Givin' destiny its power
A/G G
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
Asus4 D A
But she didn't have time
G A/G G A
She could've been afraid to fall__ in love that night
G D
But she didn't have time
