(Once upon a time, not so long ago ....)

Em                                 
Tommy used to work on the docks, Union's been on strike. He's down on his luck
      C      D       Em
It's tough,   so tough.

For love,     for love.

She says we've got to hold   on to   what we've got.
C                 D                 Em
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.

Wo - oo,    livin'   on a prayer

VERSE 2

Em
Tommy's got his six strings in hock, Now he's holding in, 
what he used to make it talk
    C      D            Em
So tough,      it's so tough.
Em
Gina dreams of running away, when she cries in the night, Tommy whispers:
           C     D        Em
Baby its O.K,       some day.
