Longest Time

[Chorus]
 
 G   D   G  C  
 Oh, oh, oh
 D                   G
 For the longest time
 D   G  C
 Oh, oh, oh
 D
 For the longest time
 G      D        C            D
 If you said goodbye to me tonight
 G           D        A             D
 There would still be music left to write
 B              Em   
 What else could I do
 D7         G    G7
 I'm so inspired by you
 C          Am               D       G
 That hasn't happened for the longest time
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 G      D          C             D
 Once I thought my innocence was gone
 G      D        A              D 
 Now I know that happiness goes on
 B              Em
 Thats where you found me
 D7                G     G7
 When you put your arms around me
 C        Am                 D         G
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 G   D   G  C
 Oh, oh, oh
 D                   G
 For the longest time
 D   G     C
 Oh, oh, oh
 D
 For the longest
 G       D           C              D
 Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
 G       D        A          D
 And the greatest miracle of all
 B       Em
 Is how I need you
 D7           G     G7
 And how you needed me too
 C       Am                  D       G
 That hasnt happened for the longest time
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 D               Em
 Maybe this wont last very long
     B7
 But you feel so right
     G
 And I could be wrong
 D              Em
 Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
 A7      
 But Ive gone this far
         D
 And its more than I hoped for
 
 G         D        C              D
 Who knows how much further well go on
 G      D      A               D   
 Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
 B         Em
 Ill take my chances
 D7            G    G7
 I forgot how nice romance is
 C        Am                 D       G  
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 D            Em
 I had second thoughts at the start
    B7
 I said to myself
      G
 Hold on to your heart
 D              Em
 Now I know the woman that you are
       A7
 Youre wonderful so far
         D
 And its more than I hoped for
 G       D        C               D
 I dont care what consequence it brings
 G       D        A             D
 I have been a fool for lesser things
 B         Em
 I want you so bad
 D7          G        G7    
 I think you ought to know that
 C           Am               D       G
 I intend to hold you for the longest time
