D A D G
Oh, oh, oh
A D
For the longest time
A D G
Oh, oh, oh
A
For the longest time
[Verse 1]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D
If you said goodbye to me tonight
D D/C# D/B D/A E A
There would still be music left to write
F# Bm
What else could I do
A7 D D7/A
I'm so inspired by you
G Em A D
That hasn't happened for the longest time
[Verse 2]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D
Once I thought my innocence was gone
D D/C# D/B D/A E A
Now I know that happiness goes on
F# Bm
That's where you found me
A7 D D7/A
When you put your arms around me
G Em A D
I haven't been there for the longest time
[Chorus]
D A D G
Oh, oh, oh
A D
For the longest time
A D G
Oh, oh, oh
A
For the longest
[Verse 3]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
D D/C# D/B D/A E A
And the greatest miracle of all
F# Bm
Is how I need you
A7 D D7/A
And how you needed me too
G Em A D
That hasn't happened for the longest time
[Bridge 1]
A Bm
Maybe this won't last very long
C#7
But you feel so right
D
And I could be wrong
F#m Bm
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
E7
But I've gone this far
A A/G A/F# A/E
And it's more than I hoped for
[Verse 4]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D
Who knows how much further we'll go on
D D/C# D/B D/A E A
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
F# Bm
I'll take my chances
A7 D D7/A
I forgot how nice romance is
G Em A D
I haven't been there for the longest time
[Bridge 2]
A Bm
I had second thoughts at the start
C#7
I said to myself
D
Hold on to your heart
F#m Bm
Now I know the woman that you are
E7
You're wonderful so far
A A/G A/F# A/E
And it's more than I hoped for
[Verse 5]
D D/C# D/B D/A G D
I don't care what consequence it brings
D D/C# D/B D/A E A
I have been a fool for lesser things
F# Bm
I want you so bad
A7 D D7
I think you ought to know that
G Em A D
I intend to hold you for the longest time
[Ending]
D A D G
Oh, oh, oh
A D
For the longest time
