Start Jamming...
It's all over with, here you play in my head
It's just a broken fight, still in 2010
If you said [G] goodbye to me [D] tonight
There would still [E] be music left to [F#] write
[Bm] What else could [A] I do?
I'm so inspired [G] by you
[E] That hasn't [A] happened for the [D] longest time
But I [G] thought my [D] innocence was gone
I [E] know that happiness goes [F#] on
That's how you [A] found me
When you put your [G] arms around me
[E] I haven't [A] been there for the [D]
longest [A] time Whoa!
[G] [A]
For the longest time Whoa!
[G] [Am]
For the [A] longest time
That voice you're hearing in the hall
[B] The greatest miracle of [F#] all
It's [B] how I need [A] you
And [D] how you needed [G] me too
That [E] hasn't happened [A] for the [D] longest [A] time
Maybe this [B] won't last very long
[C#] But you feel so right
[D] And I do feel wrong
[F#m] Maybe I've [B] been hoping too [E] hard
But I've come this far
[A] And it's more than I'll hold [D] for
Who knows how [Gm] much further we'll [D] go on
[C#] Maybe [B] I'll be sorry when you're [F#] gone
I'll take my [A] chances
I [D] forgot how nice [G] all this is
[E] I haven't been [A] there for the [D] longest time Whoa!
[G] [Am]
For [A] the longest time Whoa!
[G] [A]
For the [D] longest time [F#] Whoa!
[G] [A]
For the longest time Whoa!
[G]
[A] Thank [D]
[N]
you.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone
that right now there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the world
