Next In Line Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

INTRO: [Db]

#1.
[Db]The next in line will be someone who loves you.
[Db]The next in line is me, cause it's my time.
Now, [Gb]how long will it be till you [Db]end my misery?
You [Eb]better be prepared to linger [Ab]when you get to me.

#2.
The [Db]time has come for you to love me, if you ever are.
[Db]Come to me now, so I can make you mine.
I [Gb]watched them rush to you so fast, I [Db]waited so I'd

be the last.
[Eb]It's my time, cause [Ab]I'm the next in [Db]line.


INTERLUDE: [Eb] [Ab] [Eb] [F] [Fm] [Bb] [Eb]

#3.
[Eb]The next in line will want your love forever.
[Eb]The next in line is me and here I am.
Give [Ab]me a day or two and [Eb]I'll get through to [F]you.
[F]You'd been my baby long ago, if you'd turned down a [Bb]few.

#4.
[Eb]This old heart can't take much more waitin' for your love.
[Eb]I'm tired and we're runnin' short of time.
I'll [Ab]make you love me more than [Eb]everyone before.
F Eb....F
It's my time to try, cause I'm the next in line.

INTERLUDE: [F] [Bb] [F] [G] [F] [C] [F]

[OUTRO]
[F]I stood and watched you take their hearts and break 'em

one by one.
[F]My time is comin', so I waited while you had your fun.
[Bb]Now, I'm through a-waitin' way be[F]hind.
[G]It's my time, cause [C]I'm the next in [F]line.
