Lyrics
(Eb)Oh, (Bb)oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)time
(Bb)Oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)If (Gm)you (Eb)said (Gm)(Ab)goodbye to me (Eb)tonight
There (Gm)would (Eb)still (Gm)be (F7)music left to (Bb)write
(G7)What else could (Cm)I do
(Bb)When I'm so (Eb)inspired a (Eb7)by you
(Ab)That hasn't (Fm)happened for the (Bb)longest (Eb)time
Once (Gm)I (Eb)thought (Gm)my (Ab)innocence was (Eb)gone
Now (Gm)I (Eb)know (Gm)that (F7)happiness goes (Bb)on
(G7)That's where you (Cm)found me
(Bb)When you put your (Eb)arms (Eb7)around me (Ab)I haven't (Fm)been there for the (Bb)longest (Eb)time
Oh, (Bb)oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)time
(Bb)Oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)I'm (Gm)that (Eb)voice (Gm)you're (Ab)hearing in the (Eb)hall
And (Gm)the (Eb)(Gm)greatest (F7)miracle of (Bb)all
(G7)Is how I (Cm)need you (Bb)I And how you (Eb)needed (Eb7)me too
(Ab)That hasn't (Fm)happened for the (Bb)longest (Eb)time
(Bb)Maybe this won't (Cm)last very long
But (D7)you feel so right
And (Eb)I could be wrong
(Gm)Maybe I've been (Cm)hop an ing too hard
But (F7)I've der gone this far
And it's (Bb7)more than I hoped for
(Eb)Who (Gm)knows (Eb)how (Gm)much (Ab)further we'll go (Eb)on
(Gm)Maybe (Eb)I'll (Gm)be (F7)sorry when you're (Bb)gone
(G7)I'll take my (Cm)chances (Bb)I forgot how (Eb)nice (Eb7)romance is (Ab)I haven't (Fm)been there for the (Bb)longest (Eb)time
(Bb)I had second (Cm)thoughts at the start I (D7)said to myself
Hold (Eb)on to your heart
(Gm)Now I know the (Cm)wom an that you are
You're (F7)won derful so far
And it's (Bb7)more than I hoped for (Eb)I (Gm)don't (Eb)care (Gm)what (Ab)consequence it (Eb)brings
I (Gm)have (Eb)been (Gm)a (F7)fool for lesser (Bb)things
(G7)I want you (Cm)so bad (Bb)I think you (Eb)ought to (Eb7)know that (Ab)I intend to (Fm)hold you for the (Bb)longest (Eb)time
Oh, (Bb)oh, (Eb)oh (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)time
(Bb)Oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
(Bb)For the longest (Eb)time
(Bb)Oh, (Eb)oh, (Ab)oh
