Longest Time

[Chorus]
 
 F   C   F  Bb  
 Oh, oh, oh
 C                   F
 For the longest time
 C   F  Bb
 Oh, oh, oh
 C
 For the longest time
 F      C        Bb            C
 If you said goodbye to me tonight
 F           C        G             C
 There would still be music left to write
 A              Dm   
 What else could I do
 C7         F    F7
 I'm so inspired by you
 Bb          Gm               C       F
 That hasn't happened for the longest time
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 F      C          Bb             C
 Once I thought my innocence was gone
 F      C        G              C 
 Now I know that happiness goes on
 A              Dm
 Thats where you found me
 C7                F     F7
 When you put your arms around me
 Bb        Gm                 C         F
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
 F   C   F  Bb
 Oh, oh, oh
 C                   F
 For the longest time
 C   F     Bb
 Oh, oh, oh
 C
 For the longest
 F       C           Bb              C
 Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
 F       C        G          C
 And the greatest miracle of all
 A       Dm
 Is how I need you
 C7           F     F7
 And how you needed me too
 Bb       Gm                  C       F
 That hasnt happened for the longest time
 
 
 [Verse]
 
 C               Dm
 Maybe this wont last very long
     A7
 But you feel so right
     F
 And I could be wrong
 C              Dm
 Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
 G7      
 But Ive gone this far
         C
 And its more than I hoped for
 
 F         C        Bb              C
 Who knows how much further well go on
 F      C      G               C   
 Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
 A         Dm
 Ill take my chances
 C7            F    F7
 I forgot how nice romance is
 Bb        Gm                 C       F  
 I havent been there for the longest time
 
 C            Dm
 I had second thoughts at the start
    A7
 I said to myself
      F
 Hold on to your heart
 C              Dm
 Now I know the woman that you are
       G7
 Youre wonderful so far
         C
 And its more than I hoped for
 F       C        Bb               C
 I dont care what consequence it brings
 F       C        G             C
 I have been a fool for lesser things
 A         Dm
 I want you so bad
 C7          F        F7    
 I think you ought to know that
 Bb           Gm               C       F
 I intend to hold you for the longest time
