[Bb] If [Cm] you [Bb] said [Ab] goodbye to me tonight, there would still [F] be music left to write.
I'm
[Bb] [Ab] so inspired by you, that [A] as you're never [Abm] for the longest time.
[Bb] Once [Cm] I [Bb] thought [Ab] my innocence was [C] gone, [Bb] now [Fm] I [C] know that happiness goes on.
That's where you found [Gm] me, when you put your [G] arm around [Ab] me.
I haven't been there [D] for the [B] longest [G] time.
Woah, [Bbm] for the [N] longest time.

That voice you're hearing [Eb] in my heart.
[Bb] And [Cm] the [Bb] greatest [Am] miracle of all.
[C] It's how I need [E] you, and how you need [Ab] me too.

[D] You feel so right, [Eb] I could be wrong.
Maybe I've been hoping [Cm] too hard.
[F] But I've [Cm] come this far, and it's [Gm] more than I hoped for.
Who [Cm] knows [Bb] how [Ab] much further [Cm] we'll go on.
Maybe [Eb] I'll be [Dm] sorry when you're [C] gone.
I'll take my [Bb] chances, I [Eb] forgot how nice [Ab] romance is.
I haven't [D] been there for the longest time.
[Bb] I had [Cm] second thoughts at the start.
[D] I said to myself, [Cm] hold on to your heart.
Now I know the woman that you are.
[F] You're wonderful so far, and it's [N] more than I hoped [Cm] for.
[Bb] I [Cm] don't [Bb] care [Ab] what consequence it [Eb] brings.
[Bb] I [Cm] have been [Bb] a fool for less [C] of this.
I want you so [Gm] bad.
I think you [Ab] ought to know that I intend to [N] hold you for the longest time.
Whoa, for the longest time.
Whoa, for the longest time.
