Maybe Next Year

[Verse 1]
  A
I made my way to the western wall
       F#m                                           C#m B
As the sun went down, I could hear them call for You
        A
And the words I heard in the ancient song
         F#m                                       C#m B
Were the same as the ones I've sung so long to You
A                           F#m                              C#m B
And when I touched the wall, the veil, it never felt so thin
       A
'Cause You are the Rock and the Cornerstone
F#m
You are the temple of flesh and bone
    C#m                      B             A
And You are the door and the way back home again


[Chorus]
        E                              A                B
To that city that we long for, that we feel so far away
          E                        A     B
Where the dawn will drive away our tears
          C#m               B               A
And we'll meet in the New Jerusalem someday
               E                 A
Maybe next year, na-na-naa, na-na
B              E                 A B
Maybe next year, na-na-naa, na-na


[Verse 2]
       A
At the western wall, I bowed my head
  F#m                                 C#m B
I knew that every word I read was true
       A
As the prophet spoke from another age
        F#m                                      C#m B
And the song rose up from the sacred page to You
A                       F#m                        C#m B
And I never felt so near, I never felt so far away
    A
But You tore the curtain and shook the ground
    F#m
The saints woke up and they walked around
  C#m            B                 A
And resurrection came to town that day


[Chorus]
             E                              A             B
Like in that city that we long for, that we feel so far away
          E                             A B
Where the dawn will drive away our tears
          C#m                B          A
And we'll meet in the New Jerusalem someday
               E                  A
Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la

[Verse 3]
A
This is the place where Abraham
    F#m                                         C#m B
Cut loose the boy and he killed the ram instead
    A
And this is the place where Jesus said
          F#m                                                  C#m B
You could tear down the temple and He'd raise it from the dead
A                     F#m                            C#m B
You never felt so real, I never felt so close to You
        A
So I'll weep and dance at the western wall
    F#m                                          C#m
And sing of the way You're making all things new
           B              A               F#m                C#m B
'Cause the kingdom's here, but I know the kingdom's moving in
   A                                F#m
So maybe I'll meet You here next year
                    F#m                    A
In the New Jerusalem, in the New Jerusalem


[Chorus]
        E                              A                B
In that city that we long for, that we feel so far away
          E                             A B
Where the dawn will drive away our tears
          C#m               B           A
And we'll meet in the New Jerusalem someday
F#m            E                  A
Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la
B              E
Maybe next year, la-la-laa, la-la
A                B         C#m     E            A
Next year in the New Jerusalem, la-la-laa, la-la
     F#m                   E
Next year in the New Jerusalem


[Outro]
                    A B
Next year, next year
                           E
Next year in the New Jerusalem
                   A
Next year, next year
                 B
Next year in the New Jerusalem
C#m        B
Next year, next year
