Longest Time

[Chorus]
 
 C   G   C  F  
 Oh, oh, oh
 G                   C
 For the longest time
 G   C  F
 Oh, oh, oh
 G
 For the longest time
 C      G        F            G
 If you said goodbye to me tonight
 C           G        D             G
 There would still be music left to write
 E              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
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 C      G          F             G
 Once I thought my innocence was gone
 C      G        D              G 
 Now I know that happiness goes on
 E              Am
 Thats where you found me
 G7                C     C7
 When you put your arms around me
 F        Dm                 G         C
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 C   G   C  F
 Oh, oh, oh
 G                   C
 For the longest time
 G   C     F
 Oh, oh, oh
 G
 For the longest
 C       G           F              G
 Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
 C       G        D          G
 And the greatest miracle of all
 E       Am
 Is how I need you
 G7           C     C7
 And how you needed me too
 F       Dm                  G       C
 That hasnt happened for the longest time
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 G               Am
 Maybe this wont last very long
     E7
 But you feel so right
     C
 And I could be wrong
 G              Am
 Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
 D7      
 But Ive gone this far
         G
 And its more than I hoped for
 
 C         G        F              G
 Who knows how much further well go on
 C      G      D               G   
 Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
 E         Am
 Ill take my chances
 G7            C    C7
 I forgot how nice romance is
 F        Dm                 G       C  
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 G            Am
 I had second thoughts at the start
    E7
 I said to myself
      C
 Hold on to your heart
 G              Am
 Now I know the woman that you are
       D7
 Youre wonderful so far
         G
 And its more than I hoped for
 C       G        F               G
 I dont care what consequence it brings
 C       G        D             G
 I have been a fool for lesser things
 E         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
