Once upon a time, not so long ago
[Verse]
Bm
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
Em A Bm
It's tough, so tough
Bm
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay
Em A Bm
For love, for love
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A Bm
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
G D
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
A Bm
If we make it or not
G D A Bm
We've got each other and that's a lot
G A N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot
[Chorus]
Bm G A
Whooah, we're half way there
D G A
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Bm G A
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
D G A Bm
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
[Verse]
Bm
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk
Em A Bm
So tough, it's tough
Bm
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
Em A Bm
"Baby it's okay, someday"
[Pre-Chorus]

For love, we'll give it a shot
