[Verse]

C
 Standin' in the phone booth and I'm
C
 Not sure what time it is but I
G  Am                        G
       Don't think it really matters
C
  It's been a while since a talked to him
C                                             G
  I hold my breath as the telephone starts to ring
F                  C                G
 Will he say; "How are 'ya? How 'ya been?"
           F                   C   Em/B Am
And when I ask if we can get together . . .
             G        F
what will he say?
             C        F
What will he say?

[Chorus]

G         F       C
   And maybe the next time
G            F             C
   Love will make it's way through
G        F      C       Em/B Am
  And maybe the next time
    G                       F
Old hearts will turn new

[Verse]

C             F
 Finally a familiar hello
C                               G
 My hand tightens around the telephone
C
 "It's been a while my little darlin'
C
 I hope you're doin' well
             G
I hope we're still friends."
F                 C
  We talked for a while 'till he said;
G
   "I gotta go"
F                           C Em/B Am
There's someone waitin' for me
                        G    F
I had to let you know."

[Chorus]

G         F       C
   And maybe the next time
G            F             C
   Love will make it's way through
G        F      C       Em/B Am
  And maybe the next time
    G                       F   G
Old hearts will turn new

[Bridge]

Am                C
No-one counts the reasons
           F                     C
Why things change just like the seasons
        G            C             G
Change inside. (It's living time.)
Am               C
Maybe on the horizon
            F             C
There'll be someone to confide in
         G
Someone new
                F
But why can't I be with you?

[Verse]

C
There's something weighing heavy in my soul
                                 G
The world seems frozen, seems so cold
C
 There'll be no celebration of love tonight
                        G
This party ended a long time ago
F                  C               G
Guess I'll pick up all the broken pieces
F                  C Em/B Am
And glue them back together;
               G
Back on the shelf
     F
Oh - ahhh . .

[Chorus]

G         F       C
   And maybe the next time
G            F             C
   Love will make it's way through
G        F      C       Em/B Am
  And maybe the next time
    G                       F
Old hearts will turn new

[Chorus]

G         F       C
   And maybe the next time
G            F             C
   Love will make it's way through
G        F      C       Em/B Am
  And maybe the next time
    G                       F
Old hearts will turn new

[Outro]
          C
Maybe the next time . .
          F
Maybe the next time . .
          C
Maybe the next time . .
          F
Maybe the next time . .
                       C
Maybe... the next time
