The Longest Time - Billie Joel

 F#m
Thats where youA   E   A  D  

Oh, oh, oh
E                   A
For the longest time
E   A  D
Oh, oh, oh
E
For the longest time
A      E        D            E
If you said goodbye to me tonight
A           E        B             E
There would still be music left to write
C#              F#m   
What else could I do
E7         A    A7
I'm so inspired by you
D          Bm               E       A
That hasn't happened for the longest time

A      E          D             E
Once I thought my innocence was gone
A      E        B              E 
Now I know that happiness goes on

C#              found me
E7                A     A7
When you put your arms around me
D        Bm                 E         A
I havent been there for the longest time

A   E   A  D
Oh, oh, oh
E                   A
For the longest time
E   A     D
Oh, oh, oh
E
For the longest
A       E           D              E
Im that voice youre hearing in the hall
A       E        B          E
And the greatest miracle of all
C#       F#m
Is how I need you
E7           A     A7
And how you needed me too
D       Bm                  E       A
That hasnt happened for the longest time

E               F#m
Maybe this wont last very long
    C#7
But you feel so right
    A
And I could be wrong
E              F#m
Maybe Ive been hoping too hard
B7      
But Ive gone this far
        E
And its more than I hoped for

A         E        D              E
Who knows how much further well go on
A      E      B               E   
Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone
C#         F#m
Ill take my chances
E7            A    A7
I forgot how nice romance is
D        Bm                 E       A  
I havent been there for the longest time

E            F#m
I had second thoughts at the start
   C#7
I said to myself
     A
Hold on to your heart
E              F#m
Now I know the woman that you are
      B7
Youre wonderful so far
        E
And its more than I hoped for
A       E        D               E
I dont care what consequence it brings
A       E        B             E
I have been a fool for lesser things
C#         F#m
I want you so bad
E7          A        A7    
I think you ought to know that
D           Bm               E       A
I intend to hold you for the longest time

A Lover' Concerto - Sarah Vaughan, the Toys

C                 Em         F     G7            C  Am
  How gentle is the rain, that falls softly on the meadow.

  Dm7   G7             C      Am           G       C              Dm7   G7
  Birds high up on the trees, serenade the flowers with their melodies. Oh!

  C                    Em        F      G7            C   Am
  See there beyond the hill, the bright colors of The rainbow.

  Dm7  G7          C    Am                Dm7  G7              C
  Some magic from above made this day for us,  just to fall in love.

  C                      Em        F   G7                C    Am
  You'll hold me in your arms, and say once again you'll love me.

  Dm7 G7                C     Am              Dm7 G7            C
  And that your love is true, everything will be  just as wonderful.

  Dm7  G7            C  Am               G   C             Dm7 G7
  Just love me tenderly and I'll give to you every part of me. Oh!

  C                  Em           F    G7                C   Am
  Don't ever make me cry, through long lonely nights without love.

  Dm7 G7             C   Am               Dm7  G7           C
  Be  always true to me, keep this day in your heart eternally.

  C                      Em        F   G7                C    Am
  You'll hold me in your arms, and say once again you'll love me.

  And that your love is true, everything will be  just as wonderful.

I wish I could break all the chains holding me
  A            F#m         D                            A
I wish I could say all the things that I should like to say
 A                    F#m       
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
         E                   A
For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the parts that keep us apart
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Though I'm way over due
I'd be startin' anew


I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the song and look down at the scene
A                    F#m 
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah 
A                    F#m 
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah
A                    F#m 
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, I'd know how it feels



ENJOY: A-F#m is played until finish.
