For the longest time
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| For the longest time | A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | A D G |
| For the longest | A |
| If you said goodbye to me tonight | D A G D |
| There would still be music left to write | D A E A |
| What else could I do | Fis h |
| I'm so inspired by you | A7 D D7 |
| That hasn't happened for the longest time | G e A D |
| Once I thought my innocence was gone | D A G D |
| Now I know that happiness goes on | D A E A |
| That's where you found me | Fis h |
| When you put your arms around me | A7 D D7 |
| I haven't been there for the longest time | G e A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| For the longest time | A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | A D G |
| For the longest | A |
| I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall | D A G D |
| And the greatest miracle of all | D A E A |
| Is how I need you | Fis h |
| And how you needed me too | A7 D D7 |
| That hasn't happened for the longest time | G e A D |
| Maybe this won't last very long | A h |
| But you feel so right | Fis7 |
| And I could be wrong | h |
| Maybe I've been hoping too hard | A h |
| But I've gone this far | E7 |
| And it's more than I hoped for | A |
| Who knows how much further we'll go on | D A G D |
| Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone | D A E A |
| I'll take my chances | Fis h |
| I forgot how nice romance is | A7 D D7 |
| I haven't been there for the longest time | G e A D |
| I had second thoughts at the start | A h |
| I said to myself | Fis7 |
| Hold on to your heart | h |
| Now I know the woman that you are | A h |
| You're wonderful so far | E7 |
| And it's more than I hoped for | A |
| I don't care what consequence it brings | D A G D |
| I have been a fool for lesser things | D A E A |
| I want you so bad | Fis h |
| I think you ought to know that | A7 D D7 |
| I intend to hold you for the longest time | G e A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| (For the longest) For the longest time | A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| (For the longest) For the longest time | A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| (For the longest) For the longest time | A D |
| Oh, oh, oh | D A h G |
| (For the longest) For the longest time | A D |
