The longest time

C     G  C   F    G7              C 
Oh,  oh  oh  oh   For the longest time.    
G    C   F    G7            
oh   oh  oh.  For the longest... 

C               F           C                            
If you said goodbye to me tonight.   
C                      D7            G  
There would still be music left to write. 
E7              Am   G7          C     C7     
What else could I do?  I'm so inspired by you.  
F           Dm               G         C     
That hasn't happened for the longest time.  
C                  F             C                        
Once I  thought my innocence was gone.      
C               D7            G   
Now I know that happiness goes on. 
E7               Am          G7                C    C7          
That's where you found me,   when you put your arms around me.   
F          Dm                 G       C 
.I haven't been there for the longest time. 
  
C     G  C   F    G7              C 
Oh,  oh  oh  oh   For the longest time.    
G    C   F    G7            
oh   oh  oh.  For the longest... 

C                     F              C                 
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall.   

C                 D7       G    
 And the greatest miracle of all, 
E7       Am       G7              C        C7      
Is how I need you.   And how you  needed me too. 
F           Dm               G       C      
That hasn't happened for the longest time.  
G                Am                                   
Maybe this won't last very long,  
B7                         C
but you feel so right, and I could be wrong. 
Em              Am               
Maybe I've been hoping too hard, 
    D              D7           G               G7        
but I've gone this far and it's more than I hoped for 
C                  F               C                      
Who knows how much further we'll go on.  
C             D7                G 
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone. 
E7             Am      G7            C      C7         
. I'll take my chances, I forgot how nice romance is.  
F          Dm                 G       C      
.I haven't been there for the longest time.  
G             Am                          
I had second thoughts at the start.  
    B7                 C               
I said to myself hold on to your heart. 
Em              Am                   
Now I know the woman that you are.   
       D            D7           G                 G7         
You're wonderful so far and it's more than I hoped for. 
C                 F              C                         
I don't care what consequence it brings.
C              D7               G  
 I have been a fool for lesser things. 
E7           Am     G7            C       C7         
. I want you so bad,  I think you ought to know that  
F           Dm               G       C      
I intend to hold you for the longest time.  

C     G  C   F    G7              C 
Oh,  oh  oh  oh   For the longest time.    
G    C   F    G7            
oh   oh  oh.  For the longest... (3x)
