John Prine - In Spite Of Ourselves

in spite of ourselves – john prine
his verse :
[ C ] she don’t like her eggs all runny
she thinks crossin’ her legs is funny
she [ F ] looks down her nose at money
she [ C ] gets it on like the easter bunny
[ G ] she’s my baby , i’m her honey
i’m never gonna let her [ C ] go

her verse :
[ C ] he ain’t got laid in a month of sundays
i caught him once and he was sniffin’ my undies
he [ F ] 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
never gonna let him [ C ] go

combo chorus :
in spite of [ F ] ourselves
we’ll end up a’sittin’ on A [ C ] rainbow
against all [ G ] odds
honey , we’re the big door [ C ] prize
we’re gonna [ F ] spite our noses
right off of our [ C ] faces
there won’t be nothin’ but big old [ G ] hearts
dancin’ in our [ C ] eyes . [ G ] [ C ]

his verse :
[ C ] she thinks all my jokes are corny
convict movies make her horny
she [ F ] likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
[ C ] swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
[ G ] she takes a lickin’ but she keeps on tickin’
i’m never gonna let her [ C ] go .

her verse :
[ C ] he’s got more balls than a big brass monkey
he’s a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
[ F ] he’s sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
[ C ] when payday comes , he’s howlin’ at the moon
[ G ] but he’s my baby . i don’t mean maybe
never gonna let him [ C ] go

in spite of [ F ] ourselves
we’ll end up a’sittin’ on A [ C ] rainbow
against all [ G ] odds
honey , we’re the big door [ C ] prize
we’re gonna [ F ] spite our noses
right off of our [ C ] faces
there won’t be nothin’ but big old [ G ] hearts
dancin’ in our [ C ] eyes .

[ chorus ]

there won’t be nothin’ but big old [ G ] hearts
dancin’ in our [ C ] eyes .
