Standard (EADGBE)

I was lost until you found me

 You're the reason for my today

 Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly

 Thanks to you I gladly say

Chorus

 That if your goldmine comes up empty

 I'll be there to work the claim

 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 the day uncertain

 I will soothe you with my song

Chorus

And if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

Fear no flood in stormy weather

 Fear no fire if winds arise

 Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever

 And forever, it never dies

Chorus

And if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

 If you're a captain of a shipwreck

 You can find me up on the top deck

 You'll be captain of a shipwreck

 I'll be firstmate to your shame.
