[Em] [C] [D] …
[Em] Tommy used to work on the docks

He's down on his luck…it's [C] tough, [D] so [Em] tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For [C] love [D] for [Em] love
She says we've got to [C] hold [D] on to [Em] what we've got
'Cause it [C] doesn't make a [D] difference
If we [Em] make it or not
We've [C] got each [D] other and [Em] that's a lot
For [C] love – we'll [D] give it a shot
[Em] Wo[C] oah, we're [D] half way there

Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk – so [C] tough,[D] it's [Em] tough
[Em] Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers "Baby it's [C] okay, [D] some[Em] day"
She says we've got to [C] hold [D] on to [Em] what we've got
'Cause it [C] doesn't make a [D] difference
If we [Em] make it or not
We've [C] got each [D] other and [Em] that's a lot
For [C] love – we'll [D] give it a shot
