G C G Am
An old man turned ninety-eight
G C G Am
He won the lottery and died the next day
G C G Am
Itʼs a black fly in your chardonnay
G C G Am
Itʼs a death row pardon two minutes too late
G C G Am
Isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think
Chorus:
G C G Am
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G C G Am
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G C G Am
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A# F G
Who would have thought... it figures
G C G Am
Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly
G C G Am
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
G C G Am
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
G C G Am
And as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isnʼt this nice..."
G C G Am
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
Chorus:
G C G Am
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G C G Am
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G C G Am
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A# F G
Who would have thought... it figures
C G
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Am
When you think everything is okay and everythingʼs going right
C G
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
Am
You think everythingʼs gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
C G
А traffic jam when you are already late
C G
А no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
C G
Itʼs like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
C G
Itʼs like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
G C G Am
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
G C G Am
А little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
Chorus:
G C G Am
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G C G Am
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G C G Am
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A# F G
Who would have thought... it figures
C G
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
C G C
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out - helping you out
