'The Longest Time', Billy Joel. Enjoy!!!

Capo on 1st fret!


          
Oh, oh, oh
                   
For the longest time
     
Oh, oh, oh

For the longest time
                          
If you said goodbye to me tonight
                                
There would still be music left to write
                 
What else could I do
             
I'm so inspired by you
                                
That hasn't happened for the longest time

                             
Once I thought my innocence was gone
                             
Now I know that happiness goes on
              
Thats where you found me
                     
When you put your arms around me
                                  
I havent been there for the longest time

        
Oh, oh, oh
                   
For the longest time
        
Oh, oh, oh

For the longest
                                
Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
                         
And the greatest miracle of all
       
Is how I need you
                
And how you needed me too
                                
That hasnt happened for the longest time

               
Maybe this wont last very long
    
But you feel so right
    
And I could be wrong
              
Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
      
But Ive gone this far
        
And its more than I hoped for

                               
Who knows how much further well go on
                              
Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
         
Ill take my chances
                
I forgot how nice romance is
                                  
I havent 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
      
Youre wonderful so far
        
And its more than I hoped for
                              
I dont 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


Hope this sounds alright guys. Please give me some feedback on this transcription
