[Chorus]
C G C/E F
Whoa, Oh, oh, oh
G7 C
For the longest time
G C/E F
Oh, oh, oh
G7
For the longest
C C/B C/A Cmaj7/G F C
If you said good- bye to me tonight
C/B C/A Cmaj7/G D7 G E7
There would still be music left to write
Am G7/B
What else could I do
C C7/E F
I'm so in- spired by you
Dm G C
That hasn't hap- pened for the long- est time
C C/B C/A Cmaj7/G F C
Once I thought my inno- cen- ce was gone
C/B C/A Cmaj7/G D7 G E7
Now I know that hap- pi- ness goes on
Am G7/B
That's where you found me When
C C7/E F
you put your arms a- round me
Dm G C
I haven't been there for the long- est time
C G C/E F
Whoa, Oh, oh, oh
G7 C
For the longest time
G C/E F
Oh, oh, oh
G7
For the longest
[Chorus]
C C/B C/A Cmaj7/G F C
I'm that voice you're hear- ing in the hall
C/B C/A Cmaj7/G D7 G E7
And the great- est mir- acle of all
Am G7/B
Is how I need you
C C7/E F
And how you need-ed me too
Dm G C
That hasn't happened for the long- est time
G Am
Maybe this won't last very long
B7
But you feel so right
C
And I could be wrong
Em Am
May-be I've been hop- ing too hard
D D7
But I've gone this far
G G7
And it's more than I hoped for
C C/B C/A Cmaj7/G F C
Who knows how much further we'll go on
C/B C/A Cmaj7/G D7 G E7
Maybe I'll be sor- ry when you're gone
Am
I'll take my chances
G7/B C C7/E F
I forgot how nice ro- mance is
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 wo- man that you are
D D7
You're wonderful so far
G G7
And it's more than I hoped for
C C/B C/A Cmaj7/G F C
I don't care what consequence it brings
C/B C/A Cmaj7/G D7 G E7
I have been a fool for lesser things
Am G7/B
I want you so bad
C C7/E
I think you ought to know that
F Dm G C
I intend to hold you for the longest time
C G C/E F
Whoa, Oh, oh, oh
G7 C
For the longest time
G C/E F
Oh, oh, oh
G7
For the longest time
repeat to fade
