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."
A
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
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
A G
But she didn't have time
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
A
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
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 G
Not time, but yes, have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
A
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."
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 the power
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
A D A
But she didn't have time
G A
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
G D
But she didn't have time
