For the longest time

 G    D G  C
Whoa, oh, oh (for the longest)

 D
For the longest time

 G      D   G   C           D
If you said goodbye to me tonight

 G           D    G   C            D
There would still be music left to write

  C             Em      D
What else could I do

           G
I'm so inspired by you

 C            Em                D      G
That hasn't happened for the longest time

  G       D    G     C          D
Once I thought my innocence was gone

 G      D    G      C           D
Now I know that happiness goes on

 C                Em
That's where you found me

 D                 G
When you put your arms around me

C         Em                  D        G
I haven't been there for the longest time

For the longest time

Whoa, oh, oh, oh (for the longest)

  D
For the longest time

 G        D       G     C            D
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall

 G        D    G    C        D
And the greatest miracle of all

  C        Em
Is how I need you

 D             G
And how you needed me too

  C            Em              D       G
That hasn't happened for the longest time

   C              Em
Maybe this won't last very long

  C
But you feel so right

   D
And I could be wrong

  C               Em
Maybe I've been hoping too hard

 C
But I've gone this far

          D
And it's more than I hoped for

  G        D   G     C              D
Who knows how much further we'll go on

  G     D   G   C                D
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone

 C             Em
I'll take my chances

 D              G
I forgot how nice romance is

 C          Em                  D      G
I haven't been there for the longest time

   C             Em
I had second thoughts at the start

  C                Em
I said to myself, "hold on to your heart"

 C                Em
Now I know the woman that you are

          C
You're wonderful so far

          D
And it's more than I hoped for

 G        D    G       C           D
I don't care what consequence it brings

 G       D  G  C                D
I have been a fool for lesser things

 C          Em
I want you so bad

 D             G
I think you ought to know that

 C            Em               D       G
I intend to hold you for the longest time

For the longest time

Whoa, oh, oh (for the longest)

For the longest time...
