(An old man - Turned ninety-eight [Verse]
He won the lottery - And died the next day C F
It's a black fly - In your chardonnay C Dm
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 (C F
It's a free ride - When you've already paid C Dm
It's the good advice - That you just didn't take x3)
And who would've thought - It figures D# Bb

(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] (BbM7 BbM7 FM7 FM7 x3) - BbM7 BbM7 Cs4 C
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]
