She Didn't Have Time  Terri Clark

[D]He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like [A]she'd been some casual friend
He said "You're [G]better off without me, I'm not what you need."
Like her [A]momma had said about him
He [D]started the car, pulled out of the drive
Didn't [A]waste any time lookin' back
She [G]watched him go thinkin' even a stranger
Would [Bm]show more compassion than [A]that
(Chorus:)
She could've [D]cried but she didn't have ti[A]me
She had a baby to fe[G]ed a pink blanket to find
To rock their little one to [D]sleep
She could've laid in bed for ho[A]urs giving misery the [G]power
But she [A]didn't have [G]time
[D]She got a sitter and she got a job
'Cause [A]she had a promise to keep
Her [G]day was a factory and evenin' survival
And [A]night was exhaustion and sleep
Some[D]times she felt life was passing her by
And [A]watchin' was all she could do
Her f[G]riends said you gotta get outta the house
And m[Bm]aybe you'll meet someone [A]new
(Chorus:)
She could've[D] tried but she didn't have [A]time
She had a five-year-old to fee[G]d
She had ballet class, piano lessons and T-ball Little L[D]eague
She could've laid awake for [A]hours givin' lonely nights the [G]power
But she [A]didn't have t[Bm]ime
(Bridge:)
Not time, where would she f[G]ind the time to trust a man a[Bm]gain
Not time, for that flat [G]tire, a crowded parking lot and [D]then,
Not time, but yes, have [A]coffee with the man that got her tire fixed[G]
She was thinking, 'Gosh, he's handsome' when he as[A]ked
Do you have kids?
(Chorus:)
She could've [D]lied but she didn't have ti[A]me
All she said was "She's five." [G]
He said, "I saw the car seat, I love kids -
Does she have your [D]eyes?"
And they sat and talked for [A]hours
Givin' destiny the p[G]ower
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
But she [A]didn't have [D]time[A]
[G]She could've been afraid to fall in love that [A]night
But she didn't have [G]time[D]
