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

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

               C    D               Em
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

Refrain:
Em  C         D
Whooah, we're half way there
G   C   D
Whooah, livin' on a prayer
Em      C              D
Take my hand and we'll make it I swear
