[Em]
Tommy used to work on the top
You just been on strike
He's down on his luck
He's [C] so low, [D]
so [Em] true
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her favorite love
Ooh, for love
She says we gotta [D] hold on
To what [Em] we've got
[C] It doesn't [D] make me think
We're gonna make it [Em] or not
[C] We've got each [D] other
And that's enough [C] for us
[D] We'll give it a shot
[C] Ooh, [D] without holding
[C] Ooh, [D]
take [C] my hand
[D] We'll make it all swell
[C] Ooh, [D] living on a prayer
[Em]
Tommy got his six bringing home
Now he's owning it
What he used to make
It's all, [Bm]

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries at night
Tommy whispers, baby, it's okay

[Em] Someday
[C] We gotta [D] hold on
To what [Em] we've got
[C] It doesn't [D] make a difference
If we make it [Em] or not

And that's a lot [C] for love
[D] We'll give it a shot
[C] Ooh, [D] without holding
Ooh, [C] [D]
