[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.

[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 3]
   G                           D                   Dsus4
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.

[Chorus]
G/A  G/B  C                              D                  Dsus4
I've got  no time to look back, an' 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,

And a house to make a home.
        G             D                  D/C     G/B     C  Gsus4/D
I guess I'm older now    and I've got no time to cry.

[Outro]
        G             D                          D/C     G/B   C

           G   C             G   C             G
No time to cry,   no time to cry,   no time to cry
