Intro F Dm F G G7
       F
Amanda was a small town blonde haired beauty 

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

         F                                       F
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
   Am
No girls like her ever looked twice my way 

        F
She was out of my league

                    F             G  G7 
Oh, but that was alright with me 

                  F
Cause I loved her from a distance 

              F
Like an angel watching from afar 

                      F
I never had the nerve to mention 

                 F
The fire burning in my heart

         G                        F 
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

     Dm                   G
So I did the best I could 

                F                Csus  F
And I loved her from a distance 
The Homecoming dance of our senior year
          Am
I finally got my courage up enough to overcome my fears 

             F
I would have asked her to dance 

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

    F
And told her how I cared 

               F                       G  G7
Instead I only stood there and stared 

                  F
Cause I loved her from a distance 

              F
Like an angel watching from afar 

                      F
I never had the nerve to mention 

                 F
The fire burning in my heart

         G                        F 
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

     Dm                   G
So I did the best I could 

                F                Csus  F
And I loved her from a distance 
F Dm F G G7
    F
The other night I saw her, first time in years 

   Am
My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near 

         F
In those faded blue jeans 

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

                F
I said that's a funny funny thing 

                    F           G  G7
Cause your in every song I sing 

                         F
Yes I've been loving you from a distance 

                     F         Csus  F
Since you were only seventeen 

                          F
But I never had the nerve to mention 

                       F
The feelings flowing inside me 

         G                        F
I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance 

               Dm                          G    G7
So I poured my heart into the music that I made 

                      F
And I kept loving you from a distance 

       G                        F
Oh and now we have a story book romance 

      Dm                   G    G7
And I know one thing's for sure 

                     F
This love can go the distance
