7 -7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- ohhhh ohh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 6 
For the longest time 
-7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- oh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 
For the longest 

3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
If you say good bye to me tonight 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
there will still be music left to write 
6 -6 7 -8 7 
What else could I do? 
6 -6  7  -9   8    -8     7 
I'm so inspired by you 
6  -6  7   -9   8   -8   7   -8   7    7 
This  hasn't  happened for the longest time 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
Once I thought my innocense was gone 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
Now I Know that happiness goes on 
6 -6 7 -8 7 
That's where you found me 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 
When you put your arms around me 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 -8 7 7 
I haven't been there for the longest time 

7 -7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- ohhhh ohh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 6 
For the longest time 
-7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- oh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 
For the longest 

3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
And the greatest miracle of all 
6 -6 7 -8 7 
Is how I need you 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 
And how you needed me too 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 -8 7 7 
That hasn't happened for the longest time 
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7 
Maybe this won't last very long 
-6 -8 7 -7 7 
but you feel so right 
-6 7 -7 -6 6 
and I could be wrong 
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7 
Maybe I've been hoping to hard 
-6 -8 7 -7 7 
But I've gone this far 
-6 -6 -8 7 -7 -6 6 
and it's more then I hoped for 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
Who knows how much further we'll go on 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone 
6 -6 7 -8 7 
I'll take my chances 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 
I forgot how nice romance is 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 -8 7 7 
I haven't been there for the longest time 
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 -7 7 
I had second thoughts at the start 
-6 -8 7 -7 7 
I said to myself 
-6 7 -7 -6 6 
hold on to your heart 
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 -7 7 
Now I know the woman that you are 
-6 -8 7 7 -7 7 
You're wonderful so far 
-6 -6 -8 7 -7 -6 6 
And it's more than I hoped for 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
I don't care what consequence it brings 
3 4 5 -7 -7 7 -6 6 6 
I have been a fool for lesser things 
6 -6 7 -8 7 
I want you so bad 
6 -6 7 -9 8 -8 7 
I think you ought to know that 
-6 6 -6 6 -9 8 -8 7 -8 7 7 
I intend to hold you for the longest time 
7 -7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- ohhhh ohh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 6 
For the longest time 
-7 7 -6 
woooo- ohhhh- oh 
-7 -6 -7 -6 
For the longest
