[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
