   You've been waiting much too long now
      D
   It looks like she's not coming home

   Sam

   You've been loyal
   E
   True and faithful
   D                         E
   All this time with being alone.

   If I could get that same dedication
        A                        E
   I'd give you everything in creation

   If she doesn't come back...

R: I'll be your substitute
                 E      A   B   A
   Whenever you want me (oo-hoo)
                                E      A    B    A
   Don't you know I'll be your substitute
                  E      A    B
   Whenever you need me
   
2. Sam,
   every day you waited for her 
   I've been waiting here for you 
   Sam,
   all this time
   I've been lonely 
   I know what you've been going through 

   I'll wait until my chances occur 
   Cause you can't keep relying on her 
   If she doesn't come back
R:   

   D                 A
   Each day by your window you sit and sigh
   E                  A
   Hoping to see her face
            E               B
   Oh, you might as well forget about her
        F#m     G#m     A        B7
   And find someone to take her place  
   (If she doesn't come back...)
   
R:
