122 bpm in the key of 'G'

INTRO: Em C D… …
------
Once upon a time… not so long ago…

VERSE #1:
---------

Em
Tommy used to work on the docks… Union's been on strike.

                            C    D    Em
He's down on his luck. It's tough… so tough.


Gina works the diner all day. Working for a her man,

                            C     D           Em
she brings home her pay for love… U-m-m-m for love.

                     C    D                Em
She says we've go 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
Wo-o-oah, we're half way there.

     C    D           Em
Wo-o-oah, livin' on a prayer.

        C           D          G
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear.

     C    D          Em
Wo-o-oah, livin on a prayer.

Em C D

VERSE #2:
---------

Em
Tommy's got his six-string in hock

Now, he's holdin' in… when he used to make it talk so

C      D             Em
tough, M-m-m-m, it's tough.


Gina dreams of running away. When she cries in the night

                             C    D     Em
Tommy whispers, "Baby, its o-kay… Some… day."

                     C    D                Em
She says we've gotta hold on to what we've got 

          C              D                           Em
'Cause it doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.

      C        D                  Em
We've got each other and that's a-lot for love,

    C           D
for love… We'll give it a shot.

[Chorus]

C
Livin on a pra-a-yer…

(Em C D G C D)
Ooooh we've go to hold on ready or not 
We'll live for the fight when it's all that we've got
