 verse1
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
 An old man turned ninety-eight
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
He won the lottery and died the next day
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
Isn't it ironic... don't you think       

 cborus
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's like rain on your wedding day
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's a free ride when you've already paid
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 FmCadd9D/F#
And who would've thought... it figures

 verse2
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
And as the plane crashed down he thought, well isn't this nice
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?     

 cborus
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's like rain on your wedding day
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's a free ride when you've already paid
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 FmCadd9D/F#
And who would've thought... it figures

 Cadd9Dadd9
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Dadd9*Dadd9 Cadd9 Dadd9
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
Dadd9*Dadd9 Cadd9 Dadd9
And yeah well life has a funny way of helping you out when
Dadd9*Dadd9 Cadd9
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up in your face

 verse3
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
traffic jam when you're already late
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
It's meeting the man of my dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
And isn't it ironic... don't you think     
 D/F#Gadd9D/F#Em7
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

 cborus
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's like rain on your wedding day
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's a free ride when you've already paid
 D/F#GD/F#Em7
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
 FmCadd9D/F#
And who would've thought... it figures
