Workin' for her man, she brings home her pay for love

She brings home her pay for love

C D Em
She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
C D Em
It doesn't make a difference if we'll 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


[CHORUS]

Em C D
Whoah, we're half way there
G Cadd9 D
Whooah, livin' on a prayer

Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
G Cadd9 D Em
Ohh ohh livin' on a prayer
