Song Lyrics and Chords

[Intro]
Em Em C D Em Em

[Verse]
Em
Tommy used to work on the docks
Em
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
Em
Working for her man,

she brings home her pay
    C    D    Em
For love, for love


[Pre-Chorus]

                      C    D     D          Em
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
          C              D
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
      D          Em
If we make it or not
      C        D         D        Em
We've got each other 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              D
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
G   C   D                    Em
Whooah, livin' on a prayer

[Verse 2]

Em
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Em
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
Em
When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers:
           C    D    Em
"Baby it's okay, some-day" 


[Pre-Chorus]

                      C    D     D          Em
we've got to hold on to what we've got
          C              D
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
      D          Em
If we make it or not
      C        D         D        Em
We've got each other 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              D
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
G   C   D                   
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
C      C      C
livin' on a prayer...

Em C D D
G  C Em Em


[Pre-Chorus]

             C    D  D        Em
We've got to hold on ready or not
    C                       D    D    D    D      D
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got


[Chorus]

Gm  Eb        F
Whooah, we're half way there
Bb  Eb  F
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Gm      Eb             F
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Bb  Eb  F
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
