[Verse 1]
G D Dsus4
My father died a year ago today.
Em G/D C
The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away.
G Em
There beside my mother, in the living room, I stood,
A7 D Dsus4
With my brothers and my sister, knowing Dad was gone for good.
G
Well, I stayed at home just long enough,
D Dsus4
To lay him in the ground and then I,
Em G/D C
Caught a plane to do a show up north in Detroit town.
G D G C Gsus4/D G
Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry.
[Chorus]
G/A G/B C D Dsus4
I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see,
G G/B C
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me.
Em G
And if the feelings starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast.
A7 A7/B D Dsus4
`Cause I don't know, if I let 'em go, they might not wanna pass.
G D Dsus4
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone.
Em G/D
And there's bills to pay, and songs to play,
C
And a house to make a home.
G D D/C G/B C Gsus4/D G D7
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry.
[Verse 2]
G D Dsus4
I can still remember when I was a girl
Em G/D C
So many things have changed so much here in my world.
G Em
I remember sitting on the front yard when an ambulance went by,
A7 D Dsus4
And just listening to those sirens I would break down and cry.
G
But now I'm walking now I'm talking,
D Dsus4
Doing just what I'm supposed to do.
Em G/D C
Working overtime to make sure that I don't come unglued.
G D G C Gsus4/D G
I guess I'm older now and I 've got no time to cry.

I sit down on the sofa an' I watch the evening news:
Em G/D C
There's a half a dozen tragedies from which to pick and choose.
G G/F# Em
The baby that was missin' was found in a ditch today.
A7 A7/B D Dsus4
And there's bombs a'flying and people dying not so far away.
G
Now I'll take a beer from the 'fridgerator,
D Dsus4
And go sit out in the yard and with a
Em G/D C
cold one in my hand I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard.
G D G C Gsus4/D G
Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry.
