INTRO:
[spoken]
Once upon a time
not so long ago

VERSE 1:
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
workin for her man
she brings home her pay
For love - mm - for love ─ she says

PRE-CHORUS:
We gotta hold on - to what we’ve got
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

CHORUS:
Oh - we're halfway there
who-oa - livin on a prayer
Take my hand - we'll make it, I swear
who-oa - livin on a prayer

VERSE 2:
Tommy's got his six string in hock
now he's holdin in
when he used to make it talk
So tough - ooh, it's tough

Gina dreams of runnin away
when she cries in the night
Tommy whispers
Baby it's okay - some-day

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

UPDATED CHORUS:
Oh - we're halfway there
who-oa - livin on a prayer
Take my hand - we'll make it, I swear
who-oa - livin on a prayer
Livin on a prayer

[INTERLUDE]

NEW PRE-CHORUS:
Ooh - we gotta hold on - ready or not
You live for the fight when that's
all that you've got

OUTRO CHORUSES:
Oh - we're halfway there
who-oa - livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
who-oa - livin on a prayer

Oh - we're halfway there
who-oa - livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
who-oa - livin on a prayer
