D                     G     Em
When you're losin' direction

Baby you can depend on me

For a little love and affection

If ya feel broken hearted and you just can't get started
           D       G Em A
You can depend on me

Ya know it's never easy and when you're feelin' blue
             G                              A
There'll be times you feel so empty ya sometimes I feel it too

Chorus:
      D          G        Em        Bm
Like sister to brother - father to mother
    D                           A
We live for each other - we're lover to lover
    D          G       A          Bm
As deep as an ocean - filled with emotion
     G           A
I'm forever open - can't you see
              D         G
Baby you can depend on me
 Em        A      D       G Em A
Depend on me - depend on me

For someone to rely on and a shoulder to cry on
You can depend on me
If you're in need of some kindness and you can't seem to find it
You can depend on me

Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along
Those dark clouds may surround you but together we'll be strong

Chorus

F              C/E
Your love is a guiding light
D
I've been watchin' it shine - shine on baby
F                   C/E
When hard times are all around
             D                                 G       D
And there's miles and miles of dirty road - depend on me
                                              G       D
There's no need to carry that heavy load - depend on me
                                       G       D
When hope is gone and all is lost - depend on me
      Em          D/F#
Just reach out - take my hand
G              A
I'll be there - I'll be your man

Well there ain't no need to worry you know we'll get along
Those dark clouds may surround you but together we'll be strong

Chorus

Depend on me
Depend on me
Depend on me
