F# B F# G#m
An old man turned ninety-eight
F# B F# G#m
He won the lottery and died the next day
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs a black fly in your chardonnay
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs a death row pardon two minutes too late
F# B F# G#m
Isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think
Chorus:
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A E F#
Who would have thought... it figures
F# B F# G#m
Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly
F# B F# G#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
F# B F# G#m
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
F# B F# G#m
And as the plane crashed down he thouht "well isnʼt this nice..."
F# B F# G#m
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
Chorus:
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A E F#
Who would have thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
G#m
When you think everything is okay and everythingʼs going right
B F#
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
G#m
You think everythingʼs gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
B F#
А traffic jam when you are already late
B F#
А no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
B F#
Itʼs like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
B F#
Itʼs like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
F# B F# G#m
And isnʼt it ironic... donʼt you think?
F# B F# G#m
А little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
Chorus:
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs like rain on your wedding day
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs a free ride when youʼve already paid
F# B F# G#m
Itʼs the good advice that you just didnʼt take
A E F#
Who would have thought... it figures
B F#
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
B F# B
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out - helping you out
