       Once upon a time     not so long ago

[Verse 1]
Em
Tommy used to work on the docks
                                                  C
Union's been on strike he's down on his luck it's tough
D        Em
 So tough
Gina works the diner all day
                                                C
Working for her man she brings home her pay for love
D           Em
 Ah for love

[Pre-Chorus]
                   C    D                Em
She says we got to hold on to what we've got
   C            D                             Em
It doesn't make a diff'rence if we make it or not
      C       D                  Em  D   C
We've got eachother and that's a lot for love
      D
We'll give it a shot

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

[Verse 2]
Em
Tommy got his sixstring in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
   C    D          Em
So tough it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
                                                      C
When she cries in the night Tommy whispers baby it's okay
D    Em
 Someday

[Pre-Chorus]
             C    D                Em
We've got to hold on to what we've got
   C            D                             Em
It doesn't make a diff'rence if we make it or not
      C       D                  Em  D   C
We've got eachother and that's a lot for love
      D
We'll give it a shot

[Chorus]
Em C      D
Oh  We're half way there

Oh Livin' on a prayer
Em      C              D
