C G C F                  G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
 G C F                   G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time

[Verse]
C  C/Bb Am  Am/G F           C
If you said goodbye to me tonight
C      C/Bb   Am  Am/G D             G
There would still be music left to write
  E                   Am
Aaah, what else could I do
G           C
 I'm so inspired by you
F             C                G       C
 That hasn't happened for the longest time

[Verse]
C  C/Bb Am     Am/G F            C
Once I thought my innocence was gone
C  C/Bb Am  Am/G F             C
Now I know that happiness goes on
  E                     Am
Aaah, that's where you found me
G                   C
 Where you put your arms around me
F            C                 G       C
 I haven't been there for the longest time

 C G C F                  G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
 G C F                   G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time

[Verse]
C    C/Bb Am    Am/G   F              C
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
C   C/Bb Am  Am/G F         C
And the greatest miracle of all
E             Am
  It's how I need you
G               C
  And how you needed me too
F              C                G       C
  That hasn't happened for the longest time

[Bridge]
 Em               Am
Maybe this won't last very long
     B7
But you feel so right
    C
And I could be wrong
 Em              Am
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
    B7                           G
But I've come this far and it's more than I hoped for

[Verse]
C  C/Bb  Am   Am/G F               C
I don't care what consequence it brings
C C/Bb  Am Am/G F               C
I have been a fool for lesser things
E            Am
 I want you so bad
G             C                 F            C                G       C
 I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you for the longest time

 C G C F                  G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
 G C F                   G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
 C G C F                  G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
 G C F                   G               C
Whoa, (for the longest) for the longest time
