Ironic Alanis Morissette
[E]An old m[A]an turned n[E]inety-e[F#]ight
He won the[E] lotter[A]y and d[E]ied the next [F#]day
It's a[E] black fl[A]y in your[E] Chardonn[F#]ay
It's a de[E]ath row p[A]ardon two m[E]inutes too l[F#]ate
Isn't it ir[E]onic.[A].. don't you t[E]hink [F#]
Chorus
It's like rai[E]n [A] on your w[E]edding d[F#]ay
It's a free r[E]ide[A] when you've [E]already p[F#]aid
It's the good adv[E]i-[A]ice that you j[E]ust didn't t[F#]ake
Wh[C]o would've tho[G]ught... it f[E]igures
Verse Two
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life 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
Chorus
[D]Br[D7]idg[A]e
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 when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
Verse Three
A traffic jam when you're 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 meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
Chorus
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
