For the longest time

Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time

If you said goodbye to me tonight
D A E7 A
There would still be music left to write
F# Bm
What else could I do
A7 D D7
I'm so inspired by you
G Em A D
That hasn't happened for the longest time
D A G D
Once I thought my innocence was gone
D A E7 A
Now I know that happiness goes on

Thats where you found me
A7 D D7
When you put your arms around me
G Em A D
I havent been there for the longest time

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

For the longest

Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
D A E7 A
And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you
A7 D D7
And how you needed me too
G Em A D
That hasnt happened for the longest time

Maybe this wont last very long

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

Maybe Ive been hoping too hard

But Ive gone this far

And its more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further well go on
D A E7 A
Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone

Ill take my chances
A7 D D7
I forgot how nice romance is
G Em A D
I havent been there for the longest time

I said to myself

Hold on to your heart
F#m Bm
Now I know the woman that you are
E7
Youre wonderful so far

And its more than I hoped for
D A G D
I dont care what consequence it brings
D A E7 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
