In Spite Of Ourselves
John Prine

CAPO 2nd Fret

HIM
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 - She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
G                                                     C
She's my baby I'm her honey - I'm never gonna let her go

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

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

BREAK ONE VERSE
 
HIM
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 shaves her legs
G                                                                  C   
She takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' - I'm never gonna let her go

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

BOTH
