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