[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
