IN SPITE OF OURSELVES

John Prine (duet with Iris DeMent)

Intro

[C] [F] [G] [C]

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 [G] [C]

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 [G] [C]

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 [G] [C]

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. [G] [C]

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 [G] [C]

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 [G] [C]

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] [F] [C]

Repeat chorus

There won't be nothin' but big old [G]hearts

Dancin' in our [C]eyes. [G] [F] [C]
