Corey Smith - From a distance

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

No ^Emgirls like her ever looked twice my way She was ^Cout of my league Oh, but that was alr^Gight 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}

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

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}

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 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 s^Geventeen ^{Gsus G} But I never had the nerve ^Cto mention The feelings flowing in^Gside 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
