F# B F# G#m
Verse 1: 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
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
F# B F# G#m
It's a death row pardon two minutes to late
F# B F# G#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?
F# B F# G#m
Chorus: It's like rain on your wedding day
F# B F# G#m
It's a free ride when you've already paid
F# B F# G#m
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
A G#m F#
And who would have thought... It figures?
F# B F# G#m
Verse 2: Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
F# B F# G#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
F# B F# G#m
He waited his whole *** life just to take that flight
F# B F# G#m
And as the plane crashed down he thought, "well isn't this nice?"
F# B F# G#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?
Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)
Bridge: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything is okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when you think
Everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
Verse 3: F# B F# G#m
A traffic jam when you are already late
F# B F# G#m
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
F# B F# G#m
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
(No instruments on these last two lines)
It's like meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
F# B F# G#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?
F# B F# G#m
A little too ironic... And yeah I really do think...
Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)
Coda: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out... Helping you out
(Cymbals and ending on guitars)
