Longest Time

[Chorus]

E B E A
Oh, oh, oh
B E
For the longest time
B E A
Oh, oh, oh
B
For the longest time
E B A B
If you said goodbye to me tonight
E B F# B
There would still be music left to write
G# C#m
What else could I do
B7 E E7
I'm so inspired by you
A F#m B E
That hasn't happened for the longest time


[Verse]

E B A B
Once I thought my innocence was gone
E B F# B
Now I know that happiness goes on
G# C#m
Thats where you found me
B7 E E7
When you put your arms around me
A F#m B E
I havent been there for the longest time


[Chorus]

E B E A
Oh, oh, oh
B E
For the longest time
B E A
Oh, oh, oh
B
For the longest
E B A B
Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
E B F# B
And the greatest miracle of all
G# C#m
Is how I need you
B7 E E7
And how you needed me too
A F#m B E
That hasnt happened for the longest time


[Verse]

B C#m
Maybe this wont last very long
G#7
But you feel so right
E
And I could be wrong
B C#m
Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
F#7
But Ive gone this far
B
And its more than I hoped for

E B A B
Who knows how much further well go on
E B F# B
Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
G# C#m
Ill take my chances
B7 E E7
I forgot how nice romance is
A F#m B E
I havent been there for the longest time

B C#m
I had second thoughts at the start
G#7
I said to myself
E
Hold on to your heart
B C#m
Now I know the woman that you are
F#7
Youre wonderful so far
B
And its more than I hoped for
E B A B
I dont care what consequence it brings
E B F# B
I have been a fool for lesser things
G# C#m
I want you so bad
B7 E E7
I think you ought to know that
A F#m B E
I intend to hold you for the longest time
