  			C          F             C                
I was lost until you found me  
           Am7   F            G  
You're the reason for my today  
                 F   G            C  
Was tempest tossed,   now I sleep soundly  
         G    Fsus2          C  
Thanks to you       I gladly say  
  

::::CHORUS::: 
  
                G                C  
That if your goldmine comes up empty  
        G                     C  
I'll be there to work the claim  
            Em               F  
If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be firstmate    to your shame

Trust in me to share your burden

Stand by you        where I belong

When life brings      a day uncertain

I will soothe you      with my song

Fear no flood in stormy weather

Fear no fire      if winds arise

Flesh and blood,    I'm yours forever

I'll be firstmate    to your shame.
