Capo third fret
C G C F
Oh, oh, oh oh
G C
For the longest time
G C F
Oh, oh, oh
G
For the longest time
C F C
If you said goodbye to me tonight
C D G
There would still be music left to write
E Am
What else could I do
G7 C C7
I'm so inspired by you
F Dm G C
That hasn't happened for the longest time
C F C
Once I thought my innocence was gone
C D G
Now I know that happiness goes on
E Am
That's where you found me
G7 C C7
When you put your arms around me
F Dm G C
I haven't been there for the longest time
C G C F
Oh, oh, oh, oh
G C
For the longest time
G C F
Oh, oh, oh
G
For the longest
C F C
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
C D G
And the greatest miracle of all
E Am
Is how I need you
G7 C C7
And how you needed me too
F Dm G C
That hasn't happened for the longest time
G Am
Maybe this won't last very long
B7
But you feel so right
C
And I could be wrong
Em Am
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
D D7
But I've gone this far
G G7
And it's more than I hoped for
C F C
Who knows how much further we'll go on
C D G
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
E Am
I'll take my chances
G7 C C7
I forgot how nice romance is
F Dm G C
I haven't been there for the longest time
G Am
I had second thoughts at the start
B7
I said to myself
C
Hold on to your heart
Em Am
Now I know the woman that you are
D D7
You're wonderful so far
G G7
And it's more than I hoped for
C F C
I don't care what consequence it brings
C D G
I have been a fool for lesser things
E Am
I want you so bad
G7 C C7
I think you ought to know that
F Dm G C
I intend to hold you for the longest time
C G C F
Oh, oh, oh, oh
G C
For the longest time
G C F
Oh, oh, oh
G
For the longest time
G C F
Oh, oh, oh
G
For the longest time
