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
