capo 2

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

[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

[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

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.

[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.

[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

[Repeat chorus]

There won't be nothin' but big old [G]hearts
Dancin' in our [C]eyes.

[C]Oh, the band marched on in for[Am]mation
[Dm]The brass was [F]phasing [G]tunes I couldn’t place
[Fmaj7]Windows open and [Em]raining [Am]in
[Dm]Maroon, yellow, [F]blue, gold and [C]gray

[C]The drunks were rico[Am]cheting
[Dm]The old buildings [F]downtown Empty so[G] long ago
[Fmaj7]Windows broken and [Em]dream[Am]ing
[Dm]So happy to [F]leave what was my [C]home

Chorus:
[G]With a sky blue sky [G7]this rotten time
Wouldn’t [Am]seem so bad to me [Dm]now
[G]Oh, if I didn’t die I should be [G7]satisfied I sur[Am]vived
That's good enough for [Dm]now

[Am]Strange things are happening [E]everyday
I hear the [A]music up above my [Dm]head
Though the [F]sight of my heart has [Am]left me again
I hear [E]music up a[Am]bove

[Am]Secrets are written [E]in the sky
Looks [A]like I've lost the love I've never [Dm]found
Though the [F]sound of hope has [Am]left me again
I hear [E]music up a[A]bove [Am]

[A]Standing in my broken heart [Amaj7]all night long

[A]Looking for the lamb that's hidden [Amaj7]in the cross
The finder's [F#m]lost [D]

I'll go a[Bm]lone [E]to get [A]thro[Dm]ugh [E]

[Am]I hear Rosetta singing [E]in the night
Echos of [A]light that shines like stars after they're [Dm]gone
And to[F]night she's my guide as I [Am]go on alone
With the [E]music up a[Am]bove

[E] [Am] [E] [Am]
