LIVING ON A PRAYER

Intro:  Em

          Em  C  D (2x)

Once upon a time

Not so long ago



Em

Tommy used to work on the docks

Em

Union's been on strike

                                          C    D       Em        

He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Em

Gina works the diner all day

Em               

Working for her man, 

                                                         C    D        Em

She brings home her pay...for love... for love

                                             C    D      Em

She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got

                C                    D

'Cause it doesn't make a difference

          Em

If we make it or not

           C            D           Em

We've got each other and that's a lot

       C              D    

For love - we'll give it a shot

Em C           D

Ooh, we're half way there

G C    D                 

Oooh, livin' on a prayer

Em          C                   D

Take my hand and we'll make it I swear

G C     D

Oooh, livin' on a prayer

Tommy got his six string in hock

Now he's holding in what he used

To make it talk - so tough, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away

When she cries in the night

Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday

We've got to hold on to what we've got

'Cause it doesn't make a difference

If we make it or not

We've got each other and that's a lot

For love - we'll give it a shot

Ooh, we're half way there

Oooh, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear

Oooh, livin' on a prayer



Bridge:

Em C  D  (4x)

                          C     D  Em

We've got to hold on ready or not

        C                                    D

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Bb Eb            F

Oh,    we're half way there

Bb Eb F 

Oooh, livin' on a prayer

Gm         Eb                   F       

Take my hand and we'll make it I swear

Bb Eb F                       Bb

Oooh, livin' on a prayer

(Repeat 3x)
