G# C# G# A#m
An old man turned ninety-eight
G# C# G# A#m
He won the lottery and died the next day
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs a black fly in your chardonnay
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs a death row pardon two minutes too late
G# C# G# A#m
Isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think
Chorus:
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
B F# G#
Who would have thought... it figures
G# C# G# A#m
Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly
G# C# G# A#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
G# C# G# A#m
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
G# C# G# A#m
And as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isnʼt this nice..."
G# C# G# A#m
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
Chorus:
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
B F# G#
Who would have thought... it figures
C# G#
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
A#m
When you think everything is okay and everythingʼs going right
C# G#
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
A#m
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# A#m
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
G# C# G# A#m
А little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
Chorus:
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
G# C# G# A#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
B 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
