A D A BmAn old man turned ninety-eight

A D A BmHe won the lottery and died the next day

A D A BmIt´s a black fly in your Chardonnay

A D A BmIt´s a death row pardon two minutes too late

A D A BmIsn´t it ironic ... don´t you think

A D A BmIt´s like rain on your wedding day

A D A BmIt´s a free ride when you´ve already paid

A D A BmIt´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

C G AWho would´ve thought ... it figures

A D A BmMr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

A D A BmHe packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye

A D A BmHe waited his whole damn life to take that flight

A DAnd as the plane crashed down he thought

A Bm" Well isn´t this nice ... "

A D A BmAnd isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think

A D A BmIt´s like rain on your wedding day

A D A BmIt´s a free ride when you´ve already paid

A D A BmIt´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

C G AWho would´ve thought ... it figures

Gmaj7 AWell life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Gmaj7 AWhen you think everything´s okay and everything´s going right

Gmaj7 AAnd life has a funny way of helping you out when

Gmaj7You think everything´s gone wrong and everything blows up

AIn your face

A D A BmA traffic jam when you´re already late

A D A BmA no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

A D A BmIt´s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

A DIt´s meeting the man of my dreams

A BmAnd then meeting his beautiful wife

A D A BmAnd isn´t it ironic ... don´t you think

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

A D A BmIt´s like rain on your wedding day

A D A BmIt´s a free ride when you´ve already paid

A D A BmIt´s the good advice that you just didn´t take

C G AWho would´ve thought ... it figures
