No Time To Cry Chords

Lyrics & chords

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