Chords for Billy Joel - The Longest Time (Audio)

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