F# H# F# As#m
Verse 1: An old man turned ninety-eight


F# H# F# As#m
He won the lottery and died the next day


F# H# F# As#m
It's a black fly in your chardonnay


F# H# F# As#m
It's a death row pardon two minutes to late



F# H# F# As#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?



F# H# F# As#m
Chorus: It's like rain on your wedding day

F# H# F# As#m
It's a free ride when you've already paid

F# H# F# As#m
It's the good advice that you just didn't take

A As#m F#
And who would have thought... It figures?





F# H# F# As#m
Verse 2: Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly


F# H# F# As#m
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye


F# H# F# As#m He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight


F# H# F# As#m
And as the plane crashed down he thought, "well isn't this nice?"



F# H# F# As#m 4)
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?



Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)



Bridge: F#, H#, F#, As#m




Verse 3:

F# H# F# As#m
A traffic jam when you are already late


F# B F# As#m
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break


F# H# F# As#m
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife




It's like meeting the man of my dreams

And then meeting his beautiful wife

(Bongo drums Fill-in)



F# H# F# As#m
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?


F# H# F# As#m
A little too ironic... And yeah I really do think...



Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)





Coda: F# H# F# As#m

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

F# H# F# As#m
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out... Helping you out
