DOh, Aoh, BmohG
AFor the longest timeD
AOh, Doh, Goh
AFor the longest time
DIf you Asaid goodGbye to me tonDight
DThere would Astill be E7music left to Awrite
F#What else could BmI do
A7I'm so inspDired D7by you
GThat hasn't Emhappened for the Alongest Dtime
DOnce I Athought my Ginnocence was Dgone
DNow I Aknow that E7happiness goes Aon
F#That's where you Bmfound me
A7When you put your Darms D7around me
GI haven't Embeen there for the Alongest Dtime
DOh, Aoh, BmohG
AFor the longest timeD
AOh, Doh, ohG
AFor the longest
DI'm that Avoice you're Ghearing in the Dhall
DAnd the Agreatest E7miracle of Aall
F#Is how I Bmneed you
A7And how you Dneeded D7me too
GThat hasEmnt happened for the Alongest Dtime
F#mMaybe this won't Bmlast very long
But C#7you feel so right
And DI could be wrong
F#mMaybe I've been Bmhoping too hard
E7But I've gone this far
And its Asus4more than I Ahoped A7for
DWho knows Ahow much Gfurther well go Don
DMaybe AIll be E7sorry when you're Agone
F#Ill take my Bmchances
A7I forgot how Dnice D7romance is
GI haven't Embeen there for the Alongest Dtime
F#mI had second Bmthoughts at the start
I C#7said to myself
Hold Don to your heart
F#mNow I know the Bmwoman that you are
You're E7wonderful so far
And its Asus4more than I Ahoped A7for
DI don't Acare what Gconsequence it Dbrings
DI have Abeen a fooE7l for lesser Athings
F#I want you Bmso bad
A7I think you Dought to D7know that
GI intend to Emhold you for the Alongest Dtime
