Terri Clark - She Didn't Have Time Ukulele

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


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


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


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


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

Do you have kids?


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

F                                             F     
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night
                    F        C           
But she didn't have time
