[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
C G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
C
Dancin' in our eyes
[Instrumental]
C F C F C F C G
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
C F
In spite of ourselves,
C
we'll end up sittin on a rainbow.
G
Against all odds,
C F
honey we're the big door prize, We're gonna spite
C
Our noses right off our faces,
G
there won't be nothing but our big old hearts
C
Dancing in our eyes
[Chorus]
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
C G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
C
Dancin' in our eyes
C G7
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
C F C
Dancin' in our eyes
[Outro]
In spite of ourselves
