Intro G Am C D D7
       G
Amanda was a small town blonde haired beauty 

        Em
She had Heaven in her eyes and could light up a room 

         C                                       G
When she walked into view, she was the prettiest girl in my school 
And I knew she'd never give me the time of day
   Em
No girls like her ever looked twice my way 

        C
She was out of my league

                    G             D  D7 
Oh, but that was alright with me 

                  C
Cause I loved her from a distance 

              G
Like an angel watching from afar 

                      C
I never had the nerve to mention 

                 G
The fire burning in my heart

         D                        C 
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

     Am                   D
So I did the best I could 

                G                Gsus  G
And I loved her from a distance 
The Homecoming dance of our senior year
          Em
I finally got my courage up enough to overcome my fears 

             C
I would have asked her to dance 

                        G
But her boyfriend never gave me a chance 
Every step of every song they swung the night away
      Em
And I wish I could have wrapped my arms around her waist 

    C
And told her how I cared 

               G                       D  D7
Instead I only stood there and stared 

                  C
Cause I loved her from a distance 

              G
Like an angel watching from afar 

                      C
I never had the nerve to mention 

                 G
The fire burning in my heart

         D                        C 
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

     Am                   D
So I did the best I could 

                G                Gsus  G
And I loved her from a distance 
G Am C D D7
    G
The other night I saw her, first time in years 

   Em
My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near 

         C
In those faded blue jeans 

                          G
She's still the prettiest girl I've seen 
And much to my surprise she said hello
             Em
And that she loved listening to me singing on the radio 

                C
I said that's a funny funny thing 

                    G           D  D7
Cause your in every song I sing 

                         C
Yes I've been loving you from a distance 

                     G         Gsus  G
Since you were only seventeen 

                          C
But I never had the nerve to mention 

                       G
The feelings flowing inside me 

         D                        C
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

               Am                          D    D7
So I poured my heart into the music that I made 

                      G
And I kept loving you from a distance 

       D                        C
Oh and now we have a story book romance 

      Am                   D    D7
And I know one thing's for sure 

                     G
This love can go the distance
