[Verse]
C                                
She don't like her eggs all runny
C                                    
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
  C                                            
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
G                
And I'm his honey
                    C 
Never gonna let him go


[Chorus]
            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     
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C   
Dancin' in our eyes

[Verse]
C                                
She thinks all my jokes are corny
C                            
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'
    G               
And keeps on tickin'
                        C 
I'm never gonna let her go
     C                                     
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
       C                                     
He's a wacked out werido 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]
            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
                                   G7    
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C   
Dancin' in our eyes
F                          C         G     
There won't be nothin' but ■ big old hearts
               C   
Dancin' in our eyes
            F        
In spite of ourselves
