The Longest Time Chords by Billy Joel

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