A Thousand Miles was written by Vanessa Carlton, an American singer-song writer in 2002. My piano students enjoyed playing this song, from the easy version to advanced. Let's take a look at some arrangements to the song, A Thousand Miles.
1. Chords by Joan’s Genius 2002
INTRO: C F G // C F G // Am G // Am G
(this pattern corresponds to the piano riff she plays throughout the song)
VERSE 1:
C G
Making my way downtown
F G C F G C F G
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm home bound
C G
Staring blankly ahead
F G Am
Just making my way, making my way through the crowd

BRIDGE:
Am F G
And I need you
C F G
And I miss you
Am F G F
And now I wonder
Am G Am F
If I could fall into the sky
Am G Am F
Do you think time would pass me by
Am G F
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
C F G C F G C F G Am G Am G
If I could just see you tonight
VERSE 1:
C G
It's always times like these
F G C F G C F G
When I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me
C G
Cause everything's so wrong
F G Am
And I don't belong living in your precious memories
(repeat Bridge)
CODA:
Am G
And I, I don't want to let you know
Am F
I, I drown in your memory
Am G
I, I don't want to let this go
Am F
I, I don't....
(repeat Verse 1 & Bridge)
OUTRO:
Am G Am F
If I could fall into the sky
Am G A F
Do you think time would pass me by
Am G F
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
C F G
If I could just see you
C F G
If I could just hold you
C
