Once upon a time, not so long ago
Verse
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
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 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
C D N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot
Chorus
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Verse
Tommy's 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"
Pre-Chorus
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
C D N.C.
For love, we'll give it a shot
Chorus
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
livin' on a prayer...

Pre-Chorus
We've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Chorus
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
