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