Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay
    F     G    Am
For love, for love

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

we'll make it I swear
C   F   G                    Am

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


[Pre-Chorus]
                  
  we've got to hold
     F    G      C         Am
on to what we've got
          F       
  'Cause it doesn't

make a difference
       C         Am
If we make it or not
      F        G     
  We've got each other
      C       Am
and that's a lot
    F           G           N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot
