Intro 
C    F    G    C 
HIS VERSE 
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  G C
I'm never gonna let her go
 
HER VERSE 
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  G C
Never gonna let him go 
 
COMBO Chorus 
            F
In spite of ourselves 
                            C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow 
            G
Against all odds 
                          C      G 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      G C
Dancin' in our eyes. 

HIS VERSE 
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' but she keeps on tickin' 
                        C   G C
I'm never gonna let her 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 
                    C  G C
Never gonna let him go 
            F
In spite of ourselves 
                            C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow 
            G
Against all odds 
                          C      G 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      G F C
Dancin' in our eyes. 
 
Repeat Chorus 
                                   G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts 
               C      G F C
Dancin' in our eyes.
