C                D              Em  Em
Once upon a time Not so long ago

Em
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
     Am    D   Em
It's tough, so tough
Em
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay
    Am   D    Em
For love, for love

                      C    G     D          Em
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
          C              G
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
      D          Em
If we make it or not
      C        G         D        Em
We've got each other and that's a lot
    C           D           N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot 

Refrain:
Em  C         D
Whooah, we're half way there
G   C   D
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Em      C              D
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
G   C   D                    Em
Whooah, livin' on a prayer

Em
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk
   Am    D     Em
So tough, it's tough
Em
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
           Am   D Em
"Baby it's okay, someday" 

                      C    G     D          Em
we've got to hold on to what we've got
          C              G
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
      D          Em
If we make it or not
      C        G         D        Em
We've got each other and that's a lot
    C           D           N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot

Em  C         D
Whooah, we're half way there
