[Verse 1] (John Prine)
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] (Iris DeMent)
C
He ain't got laid in a month of 
Sundays

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, and I'm his honey
                    C
Never gonna let him go

[Chorus]
C           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
Continues after the ad
            F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
               C                   
There won't be nothin' but big old 
G7
hearts
               C
Dancin' in our eyes

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3] (John Prine)
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 shaves her
 legs
G
She takes a lickin', and keeps on 
tickin'
                        C
I'm never gonna let her go

[Verse 4] (Iris DeMent)
C
He's got more balls than a big brass
 monkey

He's a wacked out weirdo 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]
C           F
In spite of ourselves,
                         C
we'll end up sittin on a rainbow.
            G
Against all odds,
                         C     
honey we're the big door prize, 
             F
We're gonna spite
                        C
Our noses right off our faces,
there won't be nothing but our big 
    G
old hearts
               C
Dancing in our eyes

[Chorus]
C           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
               C                   
There won't be nothin' but big old 
G7
hearts
               C
Dancin' in our eyes
               C                   
There won't be nothin' but big old 
G7
hearts
               C    F   C
Dancin' in our eyes
