C   G   C   F
Oh, oh, oh, oh
G7              C
For the longest time
G   C   F
Oh, oh, oh
G7
For the longest...

C               F           C
If you said goodbye to me tonight
C                    D7            G
There would still be music left to write
E7              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               D7             G
Now I know that happiness goes on
E7               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
G7              C
For the longest time
G   C   F
Oh, oh, oh
G7
For the longest...

C                     F              C
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
C                D7         G
And the greatest miracle of all
E7       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             D7                G
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
E7           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             D7              G
I have been a fool for lesser things
E7         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
G7
For the longest time…
