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.

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.

And if the feelings starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast.

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.

Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry.
