        E       C#m7      F#m7       B7
 Who knows how long I've loved you?
      E     C#m7      G#m
 You know I love you still.
  E7     A      B7      C#m7   E
 Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
         A      B7      E     A  B7 (with riff 1: see below)
 If you want me to, I will.
 
 
      E   C#m7  Fm#7      B7
 For if I ever  saw  you,
    E      C#m7      G#m
 I didn't catch your name.
 E7      A      B7     C#m7   E
 But it never really mattered;
          A     B7       E   E7  (with riff 2)
 I will always feel the same.
 
 
  A	   G#m	 C#m    (with riff 3)
 Love you forever and forever,
 F#m            B7         E    E7  (with riff 2)
 Love you with all of my heart.
  A	   G#m	   C#m  
 Love you whenever we're together,   <--riff 4 played
  F#		      B7               during these
 Love you when we're apart.          <--two lines
 
 
       E     C#m7   F#m7     B7
 And when at last I find you,
       E        C#m7     G#m
 Your song will fill the air.
  E7      A      B7    C#m7    A  E
 Sing it loud so I can hear you,
          A   B7    C#m7    A  E
 Make it easy to be near you,
           A        B7   C#m    A  E
 For the things you do  endear you to me,
 F#m	B7	C  (with riff 5)
 Oh you know I will.
 
 
    E   E7 (with riff 6)
 I will!
 
 A	G#m    C#m
 Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm,   <--riff 7 played behind this section
 F#m7         B7    E
  Da da da da da da da.
