Chords with lyrics
F#F# 
BB F#F# G#mi
ld man turned ninety-eight
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
He won the lottery and died the next day
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
It's a death row pardon two minutes to late
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
Isn't it ironic... don't you think
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
Chorus: it's like rain on your wedding day
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
It's a free ride when you've already paid
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
A augmentedA 
E MajorE F#F#
Who would have thought... it figures
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 thouht "well isn't this nice..."
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
(chorus)
BB F#F#
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
G#mi
When you think everything is okay and everything's going right
BB F#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
BB F#F# (BB very short)
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
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
F#F# BB F#F# G#mi
A augmentedA little too ironic... and yeah i really do think...
(chorus)
BB F#F#
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
BB F#F# BB
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out -- helping you out
