[Intro]
Em    C     D    Em
(Once upon a time, not so long ago ....)

[Verse 1]
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 work the dinner all day, Working for her man. She brings home her pay
    C     D       Em
For love,    for love.

[Pre-chorus]
                       C   D             Em
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got.
C                 D                          Em
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
       C        D                Em         C
We've got each other and that's a lot, for love.
      D
We'll give it a shot.

[Chorus]
Em     C          D            G    C    D7sus4
Woo - oo, we're halfway there, wo - oo, livin' on a prayer.
Em       C          D
Take my hand we'll make it, I swear
G     C  D7sus4
Wo - oo, livin' on a prayer

[Verse 2]
Em
Tommy's got his six strings in hock, Now he's holding in, 

what he used to make it talk
    C     D           Em
So tough,    it's so tough.
Em
Gina dreams of running away, when she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:
           C   D       Em
Baby it's OK,    some day.

[Pre-chorus]
              C   D             Em
We’ve got to hold on to what we've got.
C                 D                          Em
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
       C        D                Em         C
We've got each other and that's a lot, for love.
      D
We'll give it a shot.

[Chorus]
Em     C          D            G    C    D7sus4
Woo - oo, we're halfway there, wo - oo, livin' on a prayer.
Em       C          D
Take my hand we'll make it, I swear
G     C  D7sus4
Wo - oo, livin' on a prayer
C
Livin' on a prayer.

[Pre-chorus]
Em                   C    D            Em  D
Oooooooooh, we gotta hold on, ready or not
    C                              D
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got.

[Chorus] (Key change)
