C
The next in line will be someone who loves you
The next in line is me cause it's my time
    F                            C
Now how long will it be till you end my misery
D7                                 G7
You'd better be prepared to linger when you get to me
    C
The time has come for you to love me if you ever are
Come to me now so I can make you mine
  F                              C
I watch them rush to you so fast I waited so I'd be the last
D7                 G7              C
It's my time cause I'm the next in line
The next in line will want your love forever
The next in line is me and here I am
     F                   C
Give me a day or two and I'll get through to you
      D7                             G7
You'd been my baby long ago if you'd turn down a few
     C
This ole heart can't take much more a waiting for your love
I'm tired and we're running short of time
     F                          C
I'll make you love me more than everyone before
        D7                G7              C
It's my time to try cause I'm the next in line
I stood and watched you take their hearts and break 'em one by one
My time is coming so I waited while you had your fun
F                             C
Now I'm through a waiting way behind
D7                 G7              C
It's my time cause I'm the next in line
