(An old man         - Turned ninety-eight     [Verse]

 He won the lottery - And died the next day    A D

 It's a black fly   - In your chardonnay       A Bm

 It's a death-row pardon - Two minutes too late)

And isn't it ironic - Don't you think

                                             [Chorus]

It's like rain   - On your wedding day        (A D

It's a free ride - When you've already paid    A Bm

It's the good advice - That you just didn't take  x3)

And who would've thought - It figures          C  G

                                               A A

(Mr. Play It Safe       - Was afraid to fly

 He packed his suitcase - And kissed his kids goodbye

 He waited his whole damn life - To take that flight

 And, as the plane crashed down

 He thought, well, isn't this nice)          [Chorus]

[Bridge] (GM7 GM7 DM7 DM7 x3) - GM7 GM7 As4 A

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay

And everything's going right - …         ╔═══════════

And life has a funny way of helping you out  Ironic

When you think everything's gone wrong   ║   Alanis

And everything blows up in your face     ║ Morissette

                                         ╚═══════════

(A traffic jam - When you're already late    [Intro

 A no-smoking sign - On your cigarette break  Bridge

 It's like ten thousand spoons                Part

 When all you need is a knife                     #2]

 It's meeting the man of my dreams

 And then meeting his beautiful wife, hmm [Break] X)

A little too ironic

And yeah, I really do think   [Chorus]        [Outro]

                                        GM7 GM7 A A

   (Of sneaking up on you/… - Helping you out x2) x2)
