Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay

For love, for love


[Pre-Chorus]
                      
  She says we've got to
  A    B      E         C#m
hold on to what we've got
          A       
  'Cause it doesn't
        B
make a difference
       E         C#m
If we make it or not
      A        B     
  We've got each other
      E       C#m
and that's a lot
    A           B           N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk
   A     B     C#m
So tough, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
           A    B  C#m
"Baby it's okay, someday"


[Pre-Chorus]
                  
  we've got to hold
     A    B      E         C#m
on to what we've got
          A       
  'Cause it doesn't
        B
make a difference
       E         C#m
If we make it or not
      A        B     
  We've got each other
      E       C#m
and that's a lot
    A           B           N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot
