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
