[Bb] [Ab] [Bb] For [Eb] the longest time
Whoa
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb] longest [Cm] if you said
[Ab] Goodbye to [Eb] me tonight
There [C] was still [F] the music [Bb] left to ride
[G]
What [C] else could I [Dm] do?
I'm [Ebm] so inspired [Ab] by you
[F] That hasn't happened [Bb] for the longest [Eb] time
Once [Cm] I thought [Ab] my [Eb] innocence was gone
Now [Cm] I know [F] that [Bb] happiness goes [G] on
[Cm] That's where you found [Dm] [Eb] [Ab]
[F] [Bb] [Eb] this time
Whoa
[Bb] [Db] [Bbm] For [Eb] the longest [Bb] time [Ab] Whoa Whoa

And [D] how you needed [Ab] me too
[F] That hasn't happened [Bb] for the [Eb] longest time

Maybe this [Cm] won't last very long
[D] But you feel so right
[Eb] I could be wrong
[Gm]
Maybe I've [Cm] been hoping too hard
[F] But I'm on the spot
[Eb] And it's [Bb] more than I hoped [Eb] for
Who [Cm] knows how [Ab] much further [Eb] we'll go on
Maybe [Cm] I'll [F] be sorry when [Bb] you're gone
[B]
I'll take [C] my chances
[Bb] I forgot [Eb] how nice [Ab] romance is
I [Fm] haven't been there for [Bb] the longest [Eb] time
[Bb] I had second [Cm] thoughts at the start
I [D] said to myself
[Eb] Hold on to your heart
[Gm] Now [Cm] that you are
[F] Your wonderful so far
[Bb] And it's more than I [Eb] hoped for
I [A]
don't [Bb] care [Ab] what consequence [Eb] it brings
I [Cm] have been [E] a fool [Bb] for lesser [G] things
I [C] want you so [Dm] bad
I [Eb] think you ought to [Ab] know that I'm
