[Am]
[D] [C] [D]
[G] Amanda was a small town blonde-haired beauty.
She [Em] had heaven in her eyes and could light up a room.
When [C] she walked into view, she was the prettiest [G] girl in my school.
And I knew she'd never give me [C] the time of day.
No [Em] girls like her never looked twice my way.
She [C] was out of my league.
Oh, but that was all right with me.
[D] Cause I loved [C] her from a distance, like an angel [G] watching from afar.
Oh, I never had the [C] nerve to mention the fire [G] burning in my heart.
I knew [D] a boy like me never would have [C] stood a chance.
So [Am] I did the best I could, [D] and I loved [G] her from a distance.
The homecoming dance of our senior year,
I [E] finally got my courage up enough [Em] to overcome my fears.
I would [C] have asked her to dance, but her boyfriend never [G] 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 and [C] told her how I care.
Instead, I [G] only stood there and stared.
[D]
But I kept loving [C] her from a distance, like an angel [G] watching from afar.
Oh, I never had the [C] nerve to mention the fire burning [G] in my heart.
Oh, I knew [D] a boy like me never would [C] have stood a chance.
So [Am] I did the best I could, [D] and I loved [G] her from a distance.
[Am] [A] [C]
[D]
[G] The other night I saw her first time in years.
[E] My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near in [C] those faded blue jeans.
She's still the prettiest [G] girl I've seen.
And much to my surprise, she said hello and that [Em] she loved listening to me singing on the radio.
I said, [C] that's a funny, funny thing.
Cause you're in [G] every song I [D] sing.
Yes, I've been loving [C] you from a distance since you were [G] only 17.
But I never had the [C] nerve to mention the feelings flowing [G] inside me.
I [D] knew a boy like me never would [C] have stood a chance.
So I [Am] poured my heart into the music [D] that I made.
And I kept loving [G] you from a distance.
[D] Oh, and now we have a [C] storybook romance.
[A] And I [Am] know one thing's [D] for sure.
This love can go the distance.
