♫ Verse 1:
       D             Em
I was sad and depressed.
        G             A
I was lost in loneliness.
        D             Em
Had no fun. Had no friends,
        G               A
just a lot of time to spend.
        Bm              E
On my Friday nights I stayed at home
      Bm     E
watching bad TV,
        Em             Gm          A Aaug
feeling sorry for myself despondently.

♫ Verse 2:
        D            Em
Late at night, how I cried
        G           A
from this emptiness inside.
        D              Em
When I slept, thought would weave
        G            A
into dreams of make-believe.
        Bm          E
In the morning my alarm clock rang,
Bm           E
jolting me awake,
        Em         Gm                    A Aaug
and the day ahead was more than I could take.

♫ Chorus 1:
D                            G           A   A7
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
D                            G        A A7
Freed my heart up and made me who I am.
Bm                      D           E   Gm
Till I touched her I never gave a damn.
D                           Gm                  D A
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.

♫ Verse 3:
        D             Em
I was stuck on a course
        G            A
of repression and remorse.
        D           Em
Had no ship. Had no crew,
        G               A
just a void to go into.
        Bm          E
All I needed was a storm to make
        Bm        E
the metaphor complete,
              Em      Gm                 A Aaug
'cause my sorrow was enough to sink a fleet.

♫ Chorus 2:
D                            G           A       A7
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.
D                         G            A A7
Freed my heart up and made me who I am.
Bm                     D            E  Gm
Till I touched her I never gave a damn.
D                               Gm              Bm
But all that changed when I met A Girl Named Sam.

♫ Verse 4:
Bm           F#m                  G             A
Sam, I guess you know by now I have a crush on you.
Bm            F#m                  G             A
Let me get to you somehow. That's all I want to do.
C               Em                 C                   Em
Ever since I've known you, babe, a change has taken place.
Bb                  F                       Asus4
Lonely nights are gone for good. They've been replaced.
A                   D G D A
I met A Girl Named Sam.

Look ahead from today.

There is nothing in my way.
        D               Em
I can't wait, hoping for
        G               A
what tomorrow has in store.
       Bm              E
Every smile that she gives me and
      Bm        E
a memory is made.
        Em                      Gm       A Aaug
This is something new but I am not afraid.
