[Chorus]

D   A   D  G
Oh, oh, oh
A                   D
For the longest time
A   D  G
Oh, oh, oh
A
For the longest time


[Verse 1]

D  D/C# D/B D/A   G      D
If you said goodbye to me tonight
D     D/C#  D/B  D/A  E              A
There would still be music left to write
F#              Bm
What else could I do
A7         D    D7/A
I'm so inspired by you
G          Em               A       D
That hasn't happened for the longest time


[Verse 2]

D  D/C# D/B  D/A   G             D
Once I thought my innocence was gone
D  D/C# D/B D/A  E              A
Now I know that happiness goes on
F#               Bm
That's where you found me
A7                D     D7/A
When you put your arms around me
G         Em                 A         D
I haven't been there for the longest time


[Chorus]

D   A   D  G
Oh, oh, oh
A                   D
For the longest time
A   D     G
Oh, oh, oh
A
For the longest


[Verse 3]

D   D/C# D/B D/A      G              D
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
D  D/C# D/B D/A  E           A
And the greatest miracle of all
F#       Bm
Is how I need you
A7           D     D7/A
And how you needed me too
G       Em                   A       D
That hasn't happened for the longest time


[Bridge 1]

A                Bm
Maybe this won't last very long
    C#7
But you feel so right
    D
And I could be wrong
F#m              Bm
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
E7
But I've gone this far
         A  A/G  A/F#  A/E
And it's more than I hoped for


[Verse 4]

D  D/C#  D/B D/A   G               D
Who knows how much further we'll go on
D D/C# D/B D/A  E               A
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
F#          Bm
I'll take my chances
A7            D    D7/A
I forgot how nice romance is
G         Em                 A       D
I haven't been there for the longest time


[Bridge 2]

A            Bm
I had second thoughts at the start
   C#7
I said to myself
    D
Hold on to your heart
F#m             Bm
Now I know the woman that you are
       E7
You're wonderful so far
         A  A/G  A/F#  A/E
And it's more than I hoped for


[Verse 5]

D  D/C# D/B  D/A  G               D
I don't care what consequence it brings
D D/C# D/B D/A E              A
I have been a fool for lesser things
F#         Bm
I want you so bad
A7          D        D7
I think you ought to know that
G           Em               A       D
I intend to hold you for the longest time


[Ending]

D   A   D  G
Oh, oh, oh
A                   D
For the longest time

Repeat...
