Intro
G  Am  C   D  D7
Amanda Gwas a small town blonde haired beauty 
She had EmHeaven in her eyes and could light up a room 
When she Cwalked into view, she was the prettiest Ggirl in my school 
And I knew she'd never give me the time of day 
No Emgirls like her ever looked twice my way 
She was Cout of my league
Oh, but that was alrGight with me D  D7  
Cause I loved her Cfrom a distance 
Like an angel Gwatching from afar 
I never had the nerve Cto mention 
The fire burning Gin my heart
I knew a Dboy like me never woulda Cstood a chance 
So I Amdid the best I could D  
And I loved her Gfrom a distance Gsus  G  
The Homecoming dance of our senior year 
I finally Emgot my courage up enough to overcome my fears 
I would have Casked her to dance 
But her boyfriend never Ggave me a chance 
Every step of every song they swung the night away 
And I Emwish I could have wrapped my arms around her waist 
And Ctold her how I cared 
Instead I only Gstood there and stared D  D7  
Cause I loved her Cfrom a distance 
Like an angel Gwatching from afar 
I never had the nerve Cto mention 
The fire burning Gin my heart
I knew a Dboy like me never woulda Cstood a chance 
So I Amdid the best I could D  
And I loved her Gfrom a distance Gsus  G  
G  Am  C  D  D7
The Gother night I saw her, first time in years 
My Emheart skipped a beat when she came walking near 
In those Cfaded blue jeans 
She's still the prettiest Ggirl I've seen 
And much to my surprise she said hello 
And that she Emloved listening to me singing on the radio 
I said that's a Cfunny funny thing 
Cause your in every Gsong I sing D  D7  
Yes I've been loving you Cfrom a distance 
Since you were only sGeventeen Gsus  G  
But I never had the nerve Cto mention 
The feelings flowing inGside me 
I knew a Dboy like me never woulda Cstood a chance 
So I poured my Amheart into the music that I Dmade D7  
And I kept loving you Gfrom a distance 
Oh and Dnow we have a story book Cromance 
And I Amknow one thing's for Dsure D7  
This love can go the Gdistance

Intro

G Am C D D7

Amanda was a small town blonde haired beauty

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

No girls like her ever looked twice my way

She was out of my league

G D D7

Oh, but that was alright with me

Cause I loved her from a distance

Like an angel watching from afar

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

The Homecoming dance of our senior year

I finally got my courage up enough to overcome my fears

I would have asked her to dance

But her boyfriend never gave me a chance

Every step of every song they swung the night away

And I wish I could have wrapped my arms around her waist

And told her how I cared

G D D7

Instead I only stood there and stared

Cause I loved her from a distance

Like an angel watching from afar

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

The other night I saw her, first time in years

My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near

In those faded blue jeans

She's still the prettiest girl I've seen

And much to my surprise she said hello

And that she loved listening to me singing on the radio

I said that's a funny funny thing

G D D7

Cause your in every song I sing

Yes I've been loving you from a distance

G Gsus G

Since you were only seventeen

But I never had the nerve to mention

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

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

This love can go the distance
