D/F# Gadd9 D/F#        Em7

An old man turned ninety-eight

D/F#  Gadd9   D/F#           Em7

He won the lottery and died the next day

D/F#   Gadd9  D/F#       Em7

It's a black fly in your chardonnay

D/F#      Gadd9      D/F#        Em7

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

D/F# Gadd9          D/F#       Em7

Isn't it ironic... don't you think

 chorus

D/F# G    D/F#        Em7

It's like rain on your wedding day

D/F# G            D/F#    Em7

It's a free ride when you've already paid

D/F# G          D/F#        Em7

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Fm           Cadd9           D/F#

And who would've thought... it figures

[verse2]

D/F# Gadd9         D/F#     Em7

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

D/F# Gadd9              D/F#      Em7

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye

D/F#       Gadd9   D/F#      Em7

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight

D/F#         Gadd9                  D/F#        Em7

And as the plane crashed down he thought, well isn't this nice

D/F# Gadd9           D/F#      Em7

And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?

[bridge]

Cadd9                               Dadd9

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Dadd9 Dadd9 Cadd9               Dadd9

When you think everything's ok and everythings going right

Dadd9 Dadd9   Cadd9                               Dadd9

And yeah well life has a funny way of helping you out when

Dadd9 Dadd9   Cadd9

You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up in your face -e|-3-2------| -B|-----3----| -G|-------0--|

[verse3]

D/F#    Gadd9           D/F#     Em7

A traffic jam when you're already late

D/F#   Gadd9        D/F#      Em7

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

D/F#   Gadd9               D/F#      Em7

It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife

D/F#                  Gadd9                   D/F#     Em7

It's meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife

D/F# Gadd9          D/F#     Em7

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

D/F# Gadd9           D/F#     Em7

A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...
