D5                                       
He said goodbye from the edge of the porch 
     A5
Like she'd been some casual friend
                G5
He said "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need." 
         A5
Like her momma had said about him
   D5                       
He started the car, pulled out of the drive
       A5
Didn't waste any time lookin' back
    G5              
She watched him go thinkin' even a stranger 
      B5                        A5
Would show more compassion than that


[Chorus:]
             D5                           A5
She could've cried but she didn't have time
                    G5
She had a baby to feed a pink blanket to find
                            D5
To rock their little one to sleep
                               A5                     G5
She could've laid in bed for hours giving misery the power
        A5           G5
But she didn't have time


D5       
She got a sitter and she got a job 
       A5
'Cause she had a promise to keep
    G5                                     
Her day was a factory and evenin' survival 
    A5
And night was exhaustion and sleep
    D5                                      
Sometimes she felt life was passing her by 
    A5
And watchin' was all she could do
     G5                        
Her friends said you gotta get outta the house 
     B5                       A5
And maybe you'll meet someone new


[Chorus:]
            D5                          A5
She could've tried but she didn't have time
                              G5
She had a five-year-old to feed
                                                       D5
She had ballet class, piano lessons and T-ball Little League
                            A5                              G5
She could've laid awake for hours givin' lonely nights the power
        A5            B5   
But she didn't have time


[Bridge:]
                           G5                            B5   
Not time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
                        G5                               D5   
Not time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
                        A5                                           G5
Not time, but yes, have coffee with the man that got her tire fixed
                                                  A5  
She was thinking, 'Gosh, he's handsome' when he asked

Do you have kids?


[Chorus:]
             D5                          A5                  
She could've lied but she didn't have time 
                               G5  
All she said was "She's five." 
                                  
He said, "I saw the car seat, I love kids -
                   D5
Does she have your eyes?"
                            A5        
And they sat and talked for hours 
                    G5
Givin' destiny the power
                                               
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
        A5           D5          A5
But she didn't have time

G5                                             A5     
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
                    G5        D5           
But she didn't have time
