[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

[Verse 2]
   C
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
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
               F
In spite of ourselves

[Chorus]
                            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 3]
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 she shaves her legs
    G
She takes a lickin'
And keeps on tickin'
                          C
I'm never gonna let her go

[Verse 4]
     C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey
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
               F
In spite of ourselves

[Chorus]
                            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
               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
                                         G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
                   C F
Dancin' in our eyes
C
 In spite of ourselves
