Key: F#



Capo 6 – Play C



 



     C/E F     C/E              Dm7



An old  man turned ninety-eight



     C/E             F        C/E              Dm7



He won the lottery and died the next day



        C/E   F      C/E             Dm7



It's a black fly in your Chardonnay



        C/E         F               C/E            Dm7



It's a death row pardon two minutes too late



          C/E F               C/E Dm7



Isn't it ironic, don't you think



 



                 C F           C           Dm7



* It's like rain   on your wedding day



              C  F                  C         Dm7



It's a free ride when you've already paid



                      C   F            C            Dm7



It's the good advice that you just didn't take



Eb                Bb              C



Who would've thought, it figures



 



     C/E      F              C/E     Dm7



Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly



                      C/E F                           C/E             Dm7



He packed his suit case and kissed his kids good-bye



                    C/E             F       C/E        Dm7



He waited his whole damn life to take that flight



                 C/E                F                                C/E       Dm7



And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well, isn't this nice"



                 C/E F               C/E Dm7



And isn't it ironic, don't you think *



 



        Bbmaj7                                         C



Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you



                                                       Bbmaj7                      C  



when you think everything's okay And everything's going right



       Bbmaj7                                        C



And life has a funny way of helping you out



                                                                 Bbmaj7                                   C



when you think everything's gone wrong And everything blows up In your face



 



   C/E   F                       C/E      Dm7



A traffic jam when you're already late



        C/E        F                C/E        Dm7



A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break



           C/E              F                             C/E        Dm7



It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife



     C/E                             F                                         C/E        Dm7



It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife



                 C/E F              C/E Dm7



And isn't it ironic, don't you think



                 C/E F                C/E        Dm7



A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think *



 



Bbmaj7 C                      Bbmaj7                                             C



               And you know life has a funny way of sneaking up on you



Bbmaj7                    C                  Bbmaj7
