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

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

Oh and now we have a story book romance

And I know one thing's for sure

This love can go the distance
