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