Verse 1
My (G major) father (C major) died a (G major) year ago today
The (A minor) roosters started crowing
when they car (F major) ried dad away
There (C major) beside my mother
in the (A minor) living room I stood
With my (D major) brother and my sister
knowing dad (G major) was gone for good
But I (C major) stayed around just long enough
to (G major) lay him in the ground
Then I (A minor) caught a plane to do a show
up (F major) north in Detroit town
Cause I'm (C major) older now,
I (G major) ain't got no time to cry (C major)
I've got (F major) no time to look back,
I've (G major) got no time to see
(C major) The pieces of my heart
that have been (F major) ripped away from me
And when the (A minor) feelings start to come in,
I've (C major) learned to stop them fast
Cause (D major) I don't know, I let them go,
they (G major) might not wanna pass
And there's just (C major) so many people
trying (G major) to get me on the phone
And there's (A minor) bills to pay,
and songs to play,
and a house (F major) to make a home
And I'm (C major) older now, (G major)
I ain't got no time to cry (C major) (G major)
I (C major) can still remember
before (G major) there was a Murrow
But so (A minor) many things have changed,
so much (F major) here in my world
I remember sit (C major) ting in the backyard
when an (D major) ambulance (A minor) went by
just listen (D major) ing to those sirens
I would break (G major) down and cry now walk (C major)
ing and I'm talking doing
just what (G major) I'm supposed to do
(A minor) Workin' overtime to make sure
(F major) I don't come unglued
Cause (C major) I'm older now,
I (G major) ain't got no time to cry (C major) (A major)
I go (D major) lay down on the sofa
and I (A major) watch the evening news
There's a (B minor) half a dozen tragedies
from (G major) which to pick and choose
The (D major) baby that was missing
was found (B minor) in a ditch today
And there's (E major) bombs a -flyin'
and people dyin' not (A major) so far away
I'll take a (D major) beer out of the refrigerator
Go (A major) sit out in the yard
with a cold (B minor) wine in my hand
I'm gonna bite (G major) down and swallow hard
Cause I'm (D major) older now (A major)
I ain't (B flatdim) got no time to (B minor) cry (D major)
(E major) It's true, I guess I'm (D major) older now
I (A major) just ain't got no time to cry (D major) (G major)
No time to (D major) cry (G major)
No time (D major) to cry (G major)
No time to (D major) cry you
