Next Time Lyrics & Chords By Ron Sexsmith

I know I can always find
A good reason to keep walking the line
But any minute now
A cloud has shifted my mind

Just let me think about the pros and cons
I’m simply walking out to greet the new dawn
I sip my coffee and I face the mirror
I guess I’ll have to leave you here

Here until next time, it’s a bottomless cup
So fill her up until next time
Maybe next time we’ll be better, if not
Well, there’ll always be the next time

It’s not hard to feel sometimes
That life is a joke and death is the punchline
If you don’t see the humour now
You’ll get it in the end

You’ve got to laugh until your sides are torn
At all the freaks with their wings and their horns
The grim reaper comes in and coughs
Hey, buddy, can we put this off?

Until next time, it’s a reliable friend
You can depend upon next time
Maybe next time we’ll be better, if not
Well, there’ll always be the next time

So don’t be waiting for the end to pounce
It’s what’s happens in the middle that counts
We get crucified but then we reappear
We go to heaven then we come back here

Oh, see you next time, that’s a bottomless cup
So fill her up until next time
Well, maybe next time we’ll be better, if not
Well, there’ll always be the next time

Oh, I said next time, it’s a bottomless cup
So fill her up until next time
Maybe next time we’ll be better, if not
Well, there’ll always be the next time

Next time
Oh, the next time
