Livin On A Prayer

[Intro]
A#m A#m F# G# A#m A#m

F#                G#              A#m  A#m
Once upon a time Not so long ago


[Verse]
A#m
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
     F#     G#    A#m
It's tough, so tough
A#m
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay
    F#     G#    A#m
For love, for love


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


[Chorus]
A#m  F#         G#
Whooah, we're half way there
C#   F#   G#
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
A#m      F#        
  Take my hand and
       G#
we'll make it I swear
C#   F#   G#                    A#m
Whooah, livin' on a prayer


[Verse]
A#m
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk
   F#     G#     A#m
So tough, it's tough
A#m
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
           F#    G#  A#m
"Baby it's okay, someday"


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


[Chorus]
A#m  F#         G#
Whooah, we're half way there
C#   F#   G#
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
A#m      F#
