Livin On A Prayer

[Intro]
Em Em C D Em Em

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


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


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


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


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


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


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