[F#][H] [F#] [G#mi]
(1) An old man turned ninety-eight.
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay.
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
[F#] [H] [F#] [G#mi]
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think
[F#][H] [F#] [G#mi]
(R) It's like rain on your wedding day.
[F#][H] [F#] [G#mi]
It's a free ride when you've already paid
[F#][H] [F#] [G#mi]
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
[A] [G#mi] [F#]
And who would have thought... it figures
(2) Mr. Play-it-safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life just to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought ``Well isn't this nice...''
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
(R)
[H] [F#]
(3) Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
[G#mi]
When you think everything is okay and everything's going right
[H] [F#]
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
[G#mi]
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
(4) A traffic jam when you are already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's like meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
A little too ironic. And yeah I really do think
(R)
[H] [F#]
(5) Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
[H] [F#] [H]
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out, helping you out
Ironic
