Chorus:
D#  A#  D# G#
Oh, oh, oh
A#                  D#
For the longest time
A#  D#  G#
Oh, oh, oh
A#
For the longest time

D#   D#   D#   D#     G#     D#
If you said goodbye to me tonight
D#      D#    D#    D#    F             A#
There would still be music left to write
G              Cm
What else could I do
A#7        D#     D#7  
I'm so inspired by you
G#          Fm                A#       D#
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

Chorus:
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time
Whoa, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time

A#                Cm
Maybe this won't last very long
    D7
But you feel so right
    D#
And I could be wrong
Gm              Cm
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
F7
But I've gone this far
         A#   A#     A#    A# 
And it's more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we'll go on?
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, "Hold on to your heart"
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far, and it's more than
I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Chorus:
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time
Whoa, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time
Whoa, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time
Whoa, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time
Whoa, oh, oh (For the longest)
For the longest time...
