It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
      C        D                  Em        C
We've got each other and that's a lot, for love

Em
Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
                                C      D
What he used to make it talk so though   it's so though
Em
Gina dreams of running away when she cries in the night
                           C  D   
Tommy whispers: "Baby it's OK   some day"

             C    D                Em
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
      C        D                  Em        C
We've got each other and that's a lot, for love
      D
We'll give it a shot
