Livin' On A Prayer

[Em] [Em] [C] [D] [Em] [Em]
[C]Once upon a time [D]Not so long ago[Em]    [Em]

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

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

[Em]Whoo[C]ah, we're [D]half way there
[G]Whoo[C]ah, [D]livin' on a prayer
[Em]Take my [C]hand and we'll [D]make it I swear
[G]Whoo[C]ah, [D]livin' on a prayer   [Em]

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

we've got to hold on t[C]o wha[G]t we'v[D]e got      [Em]
'Cause it [C]doesn't make a [G]difference
If we [D]make it or [Em]not
We've [C]got each [G]other and [D]that's a [Em]lot
For [C]love, we'll [D]give it a sh[N.C.]ot

[Em]Whoo[C]ah, we're [D]half way there
[G]Whoo[C]ah, [D]livin' on a prayer
[Em]Take my [C]hand and we'll [D]make it I swear
[G]Whoo[C]ah, [D]livin' on a prayer
[C]livin' on a prayer...

[Em] [C] [D] [D]
      [G]  [C] [D] [D]
      [Em] [C] [D] [D]
      [G]  [C] [Em] [Em]

We've got to [C]hold [G]on [D]ready or [Em]not
You [C]live for the fight when [D]it's all that you've got

[Gm]Whoo[Eb]ah, we're [F]half way there
[Bb]Whoo[Eb]ah, [F]livin' on a prayer
[Gm]Take my [Eb]hand and we'll [F]make it I swear
[Bb]Whoo[Eb]ah, [F]livin' on a prayer     x3
