-7	-6	-7	-6							
For	the	long-	est

If	you	say	good	bye	to	me	to-	night		
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
there	will	still	be	mu-	sic	left 	to	right		
										
6	-6	7	-8	7						
What	else	could	i	do?						
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7				
I'm	so	in-	spi-	red	by	you				
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7	-8	7	7	
This	has-	n't	hap-	pened	for	the	long-	est	time	
										
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
Once	I	thoguht	my	in-	no	cense	was	gone		
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
Now	I	Know	that	hap-	pi-	ness	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	have-	n't	been	there	for	the	long-	est	time

3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
I'm	that	voice	you're	hear-	ing	in	the	hall		
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
And	the	grea-	test	mi-	ra-	cle	of	all		
										
6	-6	7	-8	7						
Is	how	I	need	you						
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7				
And	how	you	nee-	ded	me	too				
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7	-8	7	7	
That	has-	n't	hap-	pened	for	the	long-	est	time	
									
-8	-8	-8	-8	-8	7	-7	7			
May-	be	this	won't	last	ve-	ry	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			
May-	be	I've	been	ho-	ping	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	fur-	ther	we'll	go	on		
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
May-	be	I'll	be	sor-	ry	when	you're	gone		
										
6	-6	7	-8	7						
I'll	take	my	chan-	ces						
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7				
I	for-	got	our	nice	ro-	mances				
										
6	-6	7	-9	8	-8	7	-8	7	7	
I	have-	n't	been	there	for	the	long-	est	time	

										
-8	-8	-8	-8	-8	7	-7	7			
I	had	se-	cond	thoughts	at	the	start			
										
-6	-8	7	-7	7						
I 	said	to	my-	self						
										
-6	7	-7	-6	6						
hold	on	to	your	heart						
										
-8	-8	-8	-8	-8	7	7	-7	7		
Now	I	know	the	wo-	man	that	you	are		
										
-6	-8	7	7	-7	7					
You're	won-	der-	ful	so	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		
I	don't	care	what	con-	se-	quence	it	brings		
										
3	4	5	-7	-7	7	-6	6	6		
I	have	been	a	fool	for	less-	er	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
