I thought it was a cryin’ shame that there were no 
Rainmakers tabs (chords) on the web, so here’s my attempt.

"Spite" by the Rainmakers
from the 1994 album "Flirting With the Universe"

G
we’re all growed up
we’re all gone wild
we all been beat like a stepchild
    C
I’d help you save the world
but I’m busy that day
    G
one foot on the gas and the other in the grave
   D
in spite of everything
     C                  G
it’s pretty good to be alive

               C
in spite of you (in spite of you)
              G
in spite of me (in spite of me)
   D
in spite of everything
     C                  G     D
it’s pretty good to be alive

I seen dreams die
I seen folks hated
seen the devil’s slogans
spray-painted
seen figures of authority
saying bad is good
I seen the 6 o’clock news
in my own neighborhood
in spite of everything
it’s pretty good to be alive

Chorus

I been heartbroke
I been ball-busted
been short-changed
I been mistrusted
been slandered in the streets 
libeled in the press
I been embarrassed
in the bedroom
buggered by the best
in spite of everything
it’s pretty good to be alive

Chorus

there’s a camouflaged tank
sitting rusting in the dump
there’s a camel in the desert
with oil in his hump
the temperature’s rising
people hiding in the shade
the ice cap’s melting
we’re making lemonade
in spite of everything
it’s pretty good to be alive

Chorus
