In Spite of Ourselves


[Verse 1] 



C
She don't like her eggs all runny
 
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
F
She looks down her nose at money
C
She gets it on like the easter bunny
G
She's my baby, I'm her honey
                        C
I'm never gonna let her go

 
C
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
 
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
F
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
C
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
G
He's my baby, and I'm his honey
                    C
Never gonna let him go
 


C           F
In spite of ourselves
                            C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
            G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
            F                                   C
We're gonna spite    our noses Right off of our faces

               G                   G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C
Dancin' in our eyes
 


C   F       C    F    C    F    C     G

 
C
She thinks all my jokes are corny
 
Convict movies make her horny
F
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
C
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
G
She takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin'
                        C
I'm never gonna let her go
 


C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
 
He's a wacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
F
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
C
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
G
He's my baby, I don't mean maybe
                    C
Never gonna let him go
 


C           F
In spite of ourselves,
                         C
we'll end up sittin on a rainbow.
            G
Against all odds,
                         C   
honey we're the big door prize 
 F                       C
We're gonna spite    Our noses right off our faces,
                                       G
there won't be nothing but our big old hearts
               C
Dancing in our eyes
 

C           F
In spite of ourselves
                            C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
            G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
            F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
               G                   G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C
Dancin' in our eyes
               G                   G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C    F   C
Dancin' in our eyes
