In Spite of Ourselves [C] - John Prine & Iris DeMent
[intro]
C C
She don't like her eggs all runny, She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
F C
She looks down her nose at money, Gets it on like the Easter Bunny,
G G C
She's my baby, I'm her honey, never gonna let her go.
C
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays,
C
caught him once he was sniffing my undies
F C
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done, drinks his beer like it's oxygen
G G C
He's my baby, and I'm his honey, never gonna let him go
|[Chorus]
|C F C
|In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sittin' on a rainbow
| G C
|Against all odds, honey we're the big door prize,
| F C
|we’re gonna spite our noses right off of our faces,
| C G C
|There won't be nothing but big old hearts dancing in our eyes.
C C
She thinks all my jokes are corny, Convict movies make her horny,
F C
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs, swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs.
G C
takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin', never gonna let her go
C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey,
C
He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
F C
Sly as a fox, crazy as a loon, payday comes and he's a-howling at the moon,
G C
He's my baby, I don't mean maybe, never gonna let him go
