Verse 1: An [F#]old [B]man [F#]turned ninety-[G#m]eight
He won the [F#]lotte[B]ry and [F#]died the next [G#m]day
It's a[F#] black[B] fly in[F#] your chardo[G#m]nnay
It's a[F#] death row[B] pardon two[F#] minutes to[G#m] late
And isn't it[F#] ironic..[B]. Don't yo[F#]u think[G#m]?
Chorus: It's like r[F#]ain[B] on your[F#] wedding[G#m] day
It's a free[F#] ri[B]de when you'v[F#]e alread[G#m]y paid
It's the good[F#] ad[B]vice that you[F#] just didn'[G#m]t take
And [A]who would have [G#m]thought... It fig[F#]ures?
Verse 2: Mr. [F#]Play-It-[B]Safe was a[F#]fraid to [G#m]fly
He packed his [F#]suit[B]case and kissed his [F#]kids good[G#m]bye
He waited his whole *** [F#]life just t[B]o take that f[F#]light [G#m]
And as the [F#]plane [B]crashed down he thought, "well[F#] isn't thi[G#m]s nice?"
And isn't it [F#]ironic[B]... Don't yo[F#]u think[G#m]?
Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)
Bridge: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything is 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 3: F# B F# G#m
A traffic jam when you are already late
A no-[F#]smoking [B]sign on your [F#]cigarette [G#m]break
It's like[F#] ten thousand[B] spoons when all you[F#] need is a[G#m] knife
(No instruments on these last two lines)
It's like meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it [F#]ironic[B]... Don't yo[F#]u think[G#m]?
A little [F#]too ir[B]onic... And yeah I[F#] really do[G#m] think...
Chorus: (Repeat chorus as before)
Coda: (Play the intro 1 rhythm throughout this part)
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out... Helping you out
(Cymbals and ending on guitars)
